Students will work on finding the missing angles for complimentary and supplementary angles. Students should know how to set up and solve basic algebra equations and what complimentary and supplementary angles are in order to complete this assignment.

In this assignment students will work on setting up algebra equations in order to find missing angles using the concepts of complimentary, supplementary, and vertical angles.

This project will take students through the designing of a house using grid paper. Students will apply concepts like area, perimeter, multiplication, division, and spatial reasoning. I highly recommend using the graph paper from: http://www.printfreegraphpaper.com/gp/c-m-5.pdf for this project. This project will take about 2 to 2.5 weeks for students to complete. I've included a rubric for grading as well. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask questions in the comment

Scavenger Hunts are a great way to break up the daily worksheet by getting students to walk around the room and self check their answers. This one focuses on finding the missing sides of right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will be asked to find both the legs and hypotenuse.

For this assignment students will have to come up with an alternate name to each angle. For example, angle ABC can also be called angle CBA. Then, they have to classify that angle as either acute, right, or obtuse. Finally, they are asked to measure it using a protractor.

In this assignment students will find the area of various composite shapes. Students should know how to find the area of triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares.

This is an assignment where students have to find the exterior angles of triangles. The assignment comes in as PowerPoint. The last slide will give you a link to the Google Slides version for use in Google Classroom.

This is an assignment for dilating shapes around the origin. The assignment is meant to be done in Google Classroom. The original comes as a powerpoint. The last slide will have a link to the Google Slides version of the assignment.

This game will help students review finding missing angles from concepts like complimentary, supplementary, vertical, internal angles of shapes, etc. I usually play this review game as a game of what I call grudge ball. Grudge ball works as follows: 1. Break your students up into groups of 3-4. 2. Each team starts with a predetermined number of points (say 10). 3. Each group works on whatever problem is up on the board. 4. Any groups that get the correct answer get to take a point away from ano

Scavenger Hunts are a great way to break up the monotony of worksheets. It gets your students up and walking, working in groups, and it introduces some novelty into their days. This activity will have students reviewing how to find the area of both composite shapes and shaded regions.

This is a Google Slides/Google Classroom assignment on doing double transformations, rotations, and reflections. The original comes as a powerpoint. The last slide will lead you to a link to the Google Slides version.

In this assignment students will find the area of shaded regions. Students should be familiar with how to find the area of circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles in order to complete this assignment.

In this assignment, students will find the area of various triangles.

In this assignment students will find the missing angles of polygons by using algebraic equations.

This assignment will give the students either the diameter or radius of a circle. Students need to find both the area and circumference of each circle.
