Do you need a quick review for Geometry before testing? This is it! One class period should give you a good idea about where your students are with their mastery of skills. Start them out with this Geometry Worksheet. It contains 10 multiple choice/short answer questions and an open response. Optional-After giving students an opportunity to work, go over it while using the interactive SmartBoard "Geometry Test Prep" (self-checking included). This can be found in my store for only $3. A

How about a mathematical twist to a old game? The game Doggie, Doggie has entertained countless students throughout the years. This activity involves the whole class in finding Doggie's bone-SmartBoard style. The SmartBoard has hidden points that will be revealed by touch. The students will connect the points to reveal that Doggie's bone has been in his doghouse the whole time. Optional activity-Students can be involved at their desks and the SmartBoard. They will plot points on their sh

A great activity that combines an old classroom game with the math concepts of coordinate graphing and ordered pairs (1st quadrant only). Students will help Doggie find his bone by plotting the location of ordered pairs on a coordinate graph. (An optional, SmartBoard file is available in my store that goes with this lesson.) Students will plot points on their own papers, while a coordinate graph is continually being done by all the members in the class. In the end, students will find that
