Students use their knowledge of distance, midpoints, vertical angles, linear pair, adjacent angles and perpendicular bisectors, congruent segments, angle bisectors, and congruent angles to construct their own city streetscape. This project allows students to be creative and show their knowledge of basic geometry concepts. This file also contains a rubric for students.

Students will use prior knowledge of similar triangles to: ➢ Investigate the relationship between a triangle’s midsegment and its base. ➢ Develop the rationale for why particular relationships exist in a triangle. ➢ Develop logical reasoning in a geometric context. This two page exploration allows students to discover the relationship between a triangle's midsegment and it's base, while reviewing similar triangles, congruent triangles, and properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

This bundle includes the surface area of prisms activity sheet as well as the smart notebook that goes along with the lesson. The activity includes 6 sections in which students must find the surface are of 5 prisms. The goal of the investigation is for students to see that there are 3 pairs of congruent parallel sides (Front/Back, Left/Right, Top/Bottom). Once students determine the pattern, they can quickly calculate the surface area of various rectangular prisms. The last prism they must ca
