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

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

Surface Area & Volume of Oblique Prisms: Student Investigation
In this investigation, students will use raw spaghetti and mini marshmallows to discover how the surface area and volume of a prism relate to the surface area and volume of the respective oblique prism. Students will be asked to create a rectangular prism using marshmallows to connect the vertices. Using a ruler, they will measure the dimensions of the prism, calculate and record the surface area and volume. Then they will make their prism into an OBLIQUE prism by giving it a slight push to t

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

Highly Effective Strategy for Teaching Right Triangles - FREEBIE!
Give students a transparent tool to help them label triangles!
Students often have trouble labeling parts (such as x, 2x, a, b, c, opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse, etc) of triangles for Special Triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, and Trigonometry. To help my students do this correctly, I give each student a labeled triangle printed on transparency film.
Then when students are working on one of these types of problems, they line up their transparency with the problem on their paper. They line up

How students spend their 168 hours/week - a circle graph activity
Students generate data on how they use their time in a week (168 hours) to create a circle graph. This activity is designed with several objectives in mind.
1) It can help students realize how and where they spend their time. This can be the springboard for time management conversations.
2) In this activity students are asked to calculate the percent of time they spend doing activities and to translate that into degrees of central angles.
3) This activity reinforces the use of a protractor,
