Are your students still struggling with the idea of a proof? Mine were too so I created this real life project. Students are assigned to create their own "real life" proof. They must choose a topic to debate. Once they have chosen this topic they are to create a two-column proof. The key is to get the students to understand that the reasons column is not to add more information, but to provide evidence for the statement.
Included:
-Directions
-Example
-Rubric
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of transformations by drawing an object in the first quadrant, and then shifting, reflecting, and rotating that object in the other three quadrants.
ATTACHED IS ONLY THE DIRECTIONS AND RUBRIC. SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL SEND YOU THE EXAMPLE FOR STUDENTS.
On the first day of school get your students collaborating, review previous skills, and having fun!
There are thirteen questions with answers. Give each student one card (either contains a question or answer) and have them search for their match. If they have a question card then they must find the student that has the card with the answer to their question.
OR
For low achieving students attach velcro to the cards and bright fabric. Break the students up into groups and have them match
Use Geogebra to help your students get a better understanding of angle relationships, line properties, and angle types (alternate exterior, alternate interior, consecutive interior, corresponding)
Add a fun exciting game into your review of line properties and angle relationships. Work on parallel and perpendicular properties and alternate interior, alternate exterior, etc angle relationships.
