Pupils differentiate between corresponding sides ad angles of two triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the differences as well as the similarities between two triangles. They differentiate between similar and...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Acute angle, line of symmetry, and vertex are a few terms you'll find in a set of 90 flashcards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Included in the set are two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a...

Students identify triangles as similar or congruent. In this geometry lesson, students drag triangles around on the navigator to see the effect of different angles on the shape of the triangle. They discuss angle similarity and angle...

Here is a lesson that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar triangles and then...

In this polygon activity, students identify similar polygons and corresponding sides. They use a compass and ruler to construct polygons, determine the sum of the angles in a given polygon. There are 4 multi-step problems in this...

Given a diagram of connected or overlapping triangles, individuals must find congruent parts using various properties. Pictures include reflexive sides and vertical angles amongst the marked congruent parts.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Students measure angles that are formed by parallel lines and a transversal lines. In this angles lesson plan, students measure and define angles that are made by parallel and transversal lines. They will color code the angles based on...

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

This task asks learners to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a parallelogram is both congruent and parallel to an adjacent side of the parallelogram. The activity would be good to use in a discussion about how...

Thirty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Two types of cards can be found here; a word card in bold lettering, and a corresponding definition card that offers a labeled example. Terms include area,...

Students identify similar triangles.  In this proportional segments lesson, students identify corresponding sides, set up ratios, and find the length of the missing side of a triangle.  They use the parallel/proportionality...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Young scholars broaden their outlook on geometry in their everyday environment. They explore the properties of parallel lines and parallelograms and discover ways to prove the existence of parallel lines and discuss the concept of...

The problem seems simple: find the area of the equilateral triangle whose sides are each length 1. In fact, this same problem is solved in 8th grade, addressing a different Common Core standard, using the formula for area of a triangle...

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of angles and lines to prove triagle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

Learners discuss and review examples of the Pythagorean Theorem using a GSP, Geometer's Sketchpad, activity.
