Pythagorean Theorem by Graphic Manipulation

For Teachers 7th - 9th
There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

Strongest Polygon

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Students define and identify shapes by name. For this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Interior and Exterior Angles of Polygons

For Teachers 9th - 10th
Students identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Cyclic Quadrilaterals

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
What does it mean for a quadrilateral to be cyclic? Mathematicians first learn what it means for a quadrilateral to be cyclic. They then investigate angle measures and area in such a quadrilateral.

CSI Investigation of Congruence and Similarity

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Learners differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.
