Parallel and Perpendicular Slope Exploration
Perpendicular and Parallel Slope Exploration gives students a chance to discover the relationship of slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They will use Desmos slider bar tools to do so. (Click here to see an example of how slider bars work.) Students will record their discovered parallel and perpendicular equations in tables. The tables are followed by leading questions about slope relationships and check for understanding problems. To conclude the activity, teachers can provide students

Trigonometry Playdough Mats
Angle of Elevation and Angle of Rotation
In these two playdough mats, students use playdough to practice their Angle of Rotation and Angle of Elevation skills. Because the use of playdough is “big and bold”, the teacher can easily and formatively assess student understanding.
The Angle of Rotation mat has students start with color coding the initial side and terminal side of an angle. It then moves students through creating both positive and negative angles of rotation, as well as angles a

Proof Tips Foldable Notes
Students struggle with proofs for many reasons. Often, when given information, they do not know where start. Students need to think that if they are proving triangles are congruent, “how can I use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS”. If they are showing lines are parallel on a graph, “how can I use slope”, etc.
This resource can be used a variety of ways to help students determine where to go with the given information. Pages 3 & 4 can be given to students as a handout. Pages 5-8 are designed to be used

Area and Volume Real Life Application Problem
Students get thrown into a real life problem with this project! The scenario the students work through is a concrete company that has suddenly lost a vital employee. The company is in need of providing a quote to a customer ASAP for a basement, driveway, and garage floor. Students are provided with dimensions and price points for different thicknesses of concrete. Based on this information, they are to come up with a proposed price for the customer.
The work doesn’t stop there! The company

Parallel and Perpendicular Slopes: Envelope Activity
In this envelope activity, students practice matching parallel and perpendicular slopes. Download the preview to view the various forms of questions.
Envelope activities are a great way for students to get practice without having the feel of a drill and practice worksheet. Students can work in groups or individually. The teacher can have students pass the envelopes after a given amount of time while students stay in their seats, students can rotate between stations set up each with an envelo

Band Meets Geometry Transformation - Interdisciplinary Activity
Great fall activity! In this STEAM activity, Band students and Geometry students will collaborate to learn how transformation geometry applies to marching band.
Marching bands use transformations to map out their show on the field. The coordinates that are used are similar to those that are studied in Geometry, and the football field is similar to the coordinate plane. In this interdisciplinary activity, marching band students are paired up with Geometry students in order to learn from each o

Dilations: A Student Investigation
For this inquiry activity, students create their own design on a coordinate plane and use this design to explore properties of dilation. They will be asked to shrink and expand their design by a given scale factor, compare the coordinates of each design, and finally be given an opportunity to prove the properties of similarity and dilation on a coordinate plane. Students will use the distance formula to demonstrate corresponding sides are proportional and a protractor to demonstrate correspondi

Dot and a Line: A Romance of Lower Mathematics (Anytime Activity)
This Anytime Activity is designed to complement the classic musical composition “Dot and a Line: A Romance of Lower Mathematics” that was created in 1965. Questions keep students accountable to paying attention the the narration. At the end there are questions such as “Relate the romantic story of the dot and line to another romance you have seen in a story, poem, book, or movie. Explain why you chose this particular romance” to help students tie this piece together with some of the literary

Similarity: A Clip Art Investigation
In this inquiry activity, students will use clip art to discover the properties of similar figures (corresponding sides proportional and corresponding angles equal). Have students pick out a clip art that represents them. It is preferable to choose clip art that has some straight lines and definite angles to measure. (For example, a baseball would not be easy to gather the necessary data, but a baseball bat or baseball player would be suitable.) Students should then make the clip art 2 dist

Geometric Pictures Projects (2 projects in 1!)
An Anytime Activity! Great math emergency sub plan!
I have used these projects in a variety of ways: an introduction to my Geometry course, a review before a midterm or exam, review for state testing, or an activity at a random part of the year where I need to fill some time. No matter when I have done the Geometric Pictures Project, students have really enjoyed the hunt and the choice of vocabulary within each category.
Within each project there are 12 groups of Geometry terminology (3 terms

Area and Chocolate Boxes - a geometry project to apply area
Challenge students to consider how chocolate boxes are designed using area properties! Students are given data for the size of the chocolates and how many need to fit in a box. They must use area skills to design a package that will hold all of these chocolates and satisfy the given parameters. A list of materials, directions, extensions and Common Core Standards are all provided. CCSS.Math.Content.7.G.4 Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve prob

Rotation Investigation with Snowflakes
Students use inquiry to explore the properties of rotations on a coordinate plane using their own snowflakes. Students are given specific directions on how to make their snowflake, line it up on graph paper, and follow the holes around the snowflake in order to discover the properties of rotation. There is a Check for Understanding for the teacher to use as a quick assessment. This is also a fun way for students to practice identifying coordinates on a coordinate plane.

Geometry Valentines Project
This project is good for any level of Geometry student. Students are asked to create a valentine to whomever using 10 Geometry terms. In addition to writing the valentine, students are asked to provide the definition in their own terms, an example, and a page reference. Teachers could also give students a bank of terms that they would like students to use. This document provides students a table to provide the extra information, a detailed explanation of the assignment, a rubric, and sample va

Similarity Project
Similarity refers to figures that are the same size and same shape. We can use proportions and similar figures to predict the height of objects in photographs. For this mini project, you are to take a digital picture of yourself standing next to a TALL object. (It is preferable that you take the picture next to something you can NOT measure the height of.) Then you will print your picture and use it to PREDICT how tall your object is. To do this, think about the properties we have used in c

Experience
I have been teaching HS math since 2001. I have a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Math Ed and a Master's Degree in Technology in the Classroom.
Teaching style
My philosophy of teaching is to find different ways for students to learn. I believe it is important to show students that math does apply to the "real world" and that yes, indeed, math can be fun.
