Secondary Math Made Easy

In this project students will be creating a real world proof. This is an essential project to teach students the importance of proofs and why they must suffer through (and eventually love) them in geometry. It requires the students to think logically, and prove something they believe in. This activity does require a computer, however the project could be completed without one. Also, the link for the template will work, so you de not need to create your own.

Students will graph polygons (triangles and parallelograms), calculate length of sides and diagonals using the distance formula, slope of sides and diagonals using the slope formula, and midpoints using the midpoint formula to classify the polygons. Pre-Requisite: Students need to know the types and properties of triangles and parallelograms. You can choose to run this activity a couple different ways. There is a Google Presentation that walks students through each of the three examples. You can

A web investigation into multiple ways to find the circumcenter of a triangle. Students will need a device and Internet access to complete this investigation. This investigation uses the GeoGebra app from the Chrome Store, a YouTube Video, computation by hand, and online geometry dictionaries to look up new vocabulary.

Interactive online investigation using the GeoGebra Chrome Store App to discover properties of midsegments of triangles.

Students will review distance, midpoint and slope formula in order to prove properties of polygons and classify them. Possible polygons include all triangles and quadrilaterals. There is 1 note page and 4 practice problems and an answer key included.

Students will work their way through the notes and use critical thinking skills to prove properties of special angles formed when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They will also work through a real world application on the last page.

Students will use parallel lines, transversals, triangles and alternate interior angles to prove the triangle sum theorem. Then they will practice with all the special angle types to find angle measures in a given picture.

Students will use the GeoGebra Google App (found in the Chrome App Store and free for all) to complete an investigation into the properties of isosceles triangles.

Students will use the Google Chrome GeoGebra application to construct and investigate the sum of all exterior angles of any polygon.

Students will work their way through the Google Slides and take notes on the provided document. There are embedded Google Forms for them to practice their skills as well, and please be sure to make your own copy of those.

All the laws of exponents explained with examples, practice problems, and answers.

Students will use the Google Chrome free GeoGebra app to investigate the properties of trapezoids and isosceles trapezoids.

Notes on how to label congruent polygons as well as a description of the triangle sum theorem along with its proof.

Students will use the Google Chrome GeoGebra free app to discover the properties of kites. The investigation includes essential understanding practice questions and an answer key.

A description with great explanations, images, and practice problems of the 4 triangle congruence postulates

Notes on how to factor and FOIL with examples, practice problems, and answers.

Students will read notes and examples on how to write equations of circles in standard form and what the variables in the equation stand for.

Guided notes on CPCTC with two practice proofs.

Students will discover the meaning of equilateral and equiangular and apply the new vocabulary to equilateral triangles.

Notes and examples on how to calculate the arc length and area of sectors in circles.
