Curated OER
Bill's Badge
Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.
Curated OER
Clinometer
Seventh graders build their own Clinometer and using the tangent of angles, estimate the height of trees. Then these students develop and lesson to show whole class and determine the tallest tree on school property.
Curated OER
Shot Put Arc
Students complete Part A: Dissecting a Circle. They generate their own chords within the circle. Students measure the various parts of the arc in the shot put pit. The first two measurements, the chord and distance from the midpoint of...
Curated OER
Introduction To Orbital Mechanics
Students use NASA drawings to build a model satellite for a specific mission. They design a set of drawings for their satellite showing its subsystems as well.
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Mean
Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Mean
Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry instructional activity, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri...
