Most of the worksheets I've come across for composite figures are boring and not related to life. I created this worksheet as a way to make composite shapes applicable to life. It took a lot of time, but I'm proud of the final product. I have never gotten my students to the point where I thought they could handle this worksheet. I would love someone to give it to theirs and tell me how it goes!

We use this as a review of coordinate plane concepts that students should already know. It involves identifying the parts of the coordinate plane, plotting points, and domain/range. Students keep this in their notebook. You could also use this as a pre-assessment or quiz to see what students know or remember. Maybe it's even a review worksheet of your coordinate plane unit. This activity now has a digital component via Google Slides. The parts are the divided up among slides with text boxes

I have found that although students can follow a formula, they tend to skip steps when they use the calculator. So I created this worksheet to force them into writing down every single little step. Here's what this worksheet makes them do: - Write the formula for the shape. - Identify the quantities for each variable. - Substitute the quantities for each variable. - Follow the order of operations when solving the formula. - Write the answer with the units. The pyramids on this sheet

This worksheet is meant to introduce what happens when an object is rotated on a coordinate plane. The rotation is already completed (from Quadrant 1) so students can focus on how the coordinates change. Questions include: - How are the triangles the same? Different? - What do you notice about the coordinates of Q and Q' ? - Conclusions: What happens during a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation? I created the coordinate planes. An answer key is provided. If you like this resource (and ev

I created this activity for my students to do over a holiday break, but I never gave it to them. The students take a room in their home and create a scale drawing of it. They can choose their own scale and draw furniture in the drawing. As an added geometry bonus, they also need to calculate the perimeter and area of the room. But, hey, if you don't want to send it home with them, use it in the classroom to diagram the classroom...or even a different room in the building! A grading rubric is p

I made this worksheet for our coordinate plane unit to apply the skills they just learned. Students are given a linear relationship situation and they must do the following: - write an equation - complete a chart with that equation - graph the values in the chart (students must label the graph) - name the independent/dependent variables - use the graph to predict a result - use the equation to predict a result There are 4 situations, so you can choose the ones you like. You could even make on

This is a one-page worksheet with 12 questions on it. The first two questions focus on the similarities between the pre-image coordinates and the image coordinates. The next question has no coordinate plane to see if students can easily transfer the similarities they saw. Other questions include -- a) which quadrant will the new image be in? and b) if Susie reflected like this, is she right or wrong? The coordinate planes were created by me. An answer key is included.

Teach the quadrilaterals with as many visuals as possible! This package includes in PDF format -- - Three half-sheet homework pages - Three printables for notes, like the quad family tree, a checklist to help students understand all the classifications of a quad, and two types of Venn diagrams - Eight Frayer Models - One quadrilateral project that asks students to create a mobile, poster, or book depicting/describing the quads (comes with rubric) - One sorting activity to use as an introduction

This worksheet was created to allow students to attempt dilations on their own and learn from their misconceptions. It starts by having students predict what will happen and analyze whether they were right. It has 2 coordinate plane questions and the last question asks students to use what they just learned to predict the image with other scale factors. This kind of worksheet helps me facilitate more and teach less. It also helps with growth mindsets in students because they get to learn on

This activity helps students explain what they're doing as they do it. The steps of the equation are at the bottom of the page. Students must determine the original equation and put it as the title of the page. Then they sort the rest of the steps into the table and explain what's happening in each step or why that's the next step. You could also have students justify their work with properties (like in geometry). There are 3 problems like this and then 4 practice problems on the last sheet

This is a simple worksheet that analyzes one reflection using a folding technique to see the new image. Using this technique to correctly place the image allows students to analyze the results to see trends. It has a follow-up question to see if students understood the trend of the triangle's reflection. It's a trick that's easily used on formal tests and state exams with the use of a coordinate plane. If the directions for the trick aren't clear, please let me know and I'll add pictures. I
