Lesson Plans and Worksheets
Lesson Planet has helped me immensely! I have a great curriculum geared toward gifted and exceptional students. However, I need to differentiate so much (I am at a private school). Lesson Planet has been a GREAT supplement to these needs!

Find teacher approved Basic Construction educational resource ideas and activities
Students construct a reliquary using foam board, researching basic Greek and Roman architecture and basic construction methods. They record their research and information in an architectural journal.
Learners find a way to locate that center on regular polygons other than a triangle. They create sketches, print them, glue them to poster board, and try to balance the polygon at the proposed center point. They submit a written summary of their plan.
Students demonstrate basic construction skills by building a free standing structure. They compute the cost of the structure.
Tenth graders explore Cabri Jr. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the menus, tools, and capabilities of Cabri Jr. as a tool to enhance student understanding. The lesson includes the construction of a triangle and the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle and an investigation into the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle.
Students demonstrate basic construction skills by building a free standing structure, using predetermined materials. They compute cost of structure by using multiplication skills or calculator.
There are four activities in this extensive instructional activity covering the identity matrix and scaling, the linear representation of translations, the linear representation of rotations, and reflections. In small groups, they use the Cabri II computer program to move objects and make observations. In their groups, they discuss, solve and answer worksheet questions for each activity.
Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students display their data using excel. They plot the data on a coordinate plane and draw conclusion from their data.
In this constructing angles worksheet, students construct congruent and perpendicular angles. They also construct triangles and angle bisectors. Students measure angles. This one-page worksheet contains 20 multi-step problems.
Students perform reflections and translations of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students perform reflection in two parallel lines. They use Cabri to observe the transformation and rotations of each shape.
High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.
