Curated OER
Investigation - Adrienne's Pattern Block Angles
Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.
Curated OER
Exploring Characteristics of Triangles
Learners draw triangles and explore the classification of each using the measures of interior angles and lengths of sides. They investigate the sum of the interior angles of various triangles and conjecture and prove the theorem: The...
Curated OER
Triangle Inequality Theorem
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...
Curated OER
Triangle Exterior Angles Theorem
Students identify the measure of missing exterior angles. In this geometry lesson,students define and apply the exterior angle theorem to solve problems. They use Cabri software to create different angles and make investigations.
Curated OER
Exterior and Interior Angles of Triangles
Tenth graders explore the exterior and interior angles of triangles. They use a theorem in order to prove a theorem about all polygons. Students use the theorem and its applications to find the angles of different types of triangles.
Curated OER
Tennis Triangle
Students calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to measure...
Curated OER
Patterns in the Sums of Polygon Angles
Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. For this math lesson, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.
Curated OER
Quilt Patch Proof
Students construct a convincing argument that the same amount of fabric is needed for each color of quilt being made in a specific design. They justify the relationship between vertical angles and the sum of the interior angles. Students
Curated OER
The Distance to an Unapproachable Point
Students use geometry or trigonometry to measure the distance of a far off point. They verify their measurements using a tape measure to check their work.
Curated OER
The Flat Earth
Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.
