Curated OER
SAS Similarity Theorem
Students identify and use the similarity theorem. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.
Curated OER
Lines, Segments, and Rays
Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.
Curated OER
Translating Transformations in Geometry
Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.
Curated OER
Nature's Polyhedrons
Students are introduced to polyhedrons through using straw models to explore geometric solids and constructing Christmas tree ornaments using Epsom salt crystals. Students will view interactive videos and investigate and retrieve...
Curated OER
Perimeter and Circumference
Students understand the definitions for perimeter and circumference and know the difference. They then go over sample problems as a class. Students use drill and practice skills to complete activity pages.
Curated OER
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Tenth graders explore parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the relationships associated with parallel lines and transversals, perpendicular lines, and the angles formed by these...
Curated OER
How Big Is Your Heart?
Students complete a performance about the heart. In this heart lesson plan, students learn about the heart functions and then perform them.
Curated OER
Squares to Compare
Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)
