Construction Circles
Pupils investigate the number of points needed to determine a unique circle in a plane. Using Cabri Jr., they apply construction techniques to generate a circle that passes through a given number of points.
Curated OER
Diagonals of Quadrilaterals
Teach your mathematicians how to identify different polygons based on their diagonals. Relating quadrilaterals to the different number of diagonals formed, students use the TI to create a visual of their shape.

Watch It Slide!
Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.
Curated OER
Exploration with Geometric Solids
Learners reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.
