Sentient Geometry

An engaging, real word project/activity for students to investigate the landing of a commercial plane in the Hudson River. Students use their knowledge of all 3 trig ratios and their inverse to solve all the aspects in this activity. materials required: poster paper or butcher paper colors (markers or colored pencils) protractor ruler and / or yard stick calculator I have included instructions, and rubric in 3 formats (PDF, word, and ODT) I also have included a sheet with plane context for s

This product includes the rubric for a congruent triangles project, with pictures of student examples as well as options for blueprint. This is a great summative or assessment to gauge students’ understanding of congruency theorems and triangle congruence. This project can take as little as 3 days, but up to 5 days. (Calculating each day as a 45 minute class period.) Typically, the more detailed the students make their blueprint, the faster they can cut and build. This product offers the rubr

This project incorporates: The vocabulary learned in parallel lines cut by a transversalGraphing the equations of linesConverting equations of lines into standard, point slope, and slope intercept formCalculating perpendicular distance from a point.There is the rubric (in 3 digital formats) with the perpendicular distance component added and the rubric (in 3 digital formats) without this concept. Multiple formats allow for editing and flexible sharing options. Examples of student work are inclu

The Logic Unit can be pretty dry, but students can apply what they’ve learned in this unit to design their own board game! They will incorporate conditional statements for their rules, and use the concepts of logic to structure their game. The rubric grades the following concepts: Conditional statements, converse, inverse, contrapositive, biconditional, law of detachment, syllogism, inductive and deductive reasoning, and counter examples. Students must write their own cards to play the game (t

This is a shorter version of my City Design Project. In this activity, students will just focus on designing their city and applying the vocabulary from the parallel lines cut by a transversal foldable. (This version omits all equations for the streets) The foldable is included in this folder. Student work example is included.

A quick foldable your students can use to study the following vocabulary: Alternate Interior Angles Alternate Exterior Angles Consecutive Interior Angles Consecutive Exterior Angles Corresponding Angles Make sure to print it double sided with the turn on the short side.
