Basic Geometry Terms
Set your pupils up to start on geometry by teaching them some introductory terminology. Pupils learn the terms by reading a short passage and looking at examples. They then respond to five questions related to the text.

Designing Euclid’s Playground
Create a geometric playground. Pupils work through a performance task to demonstrate their ability to use geometric concepts to solve everyday problems. The accompanying engineering design lessons show teachers how the assessment works...

Base Angles of Isosceles Triangles
Build confidence in proofs by proving a known property. Pupils explore two approaches to proving base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent: transformations and SAS. They then apply their understanding of the proof to more complex...

Ted: Ted Ed: Euclid's Puzzling Parallel Postulate
Euclid, known as the "Father of Geometry," developed several of modern geometry's most enduring theorems--but what can we make of his mysterious fifth postulate, the parallel postulate? Jeff Dekofsky shows us how mathematical minds have...
Mathigon
Mathigon: Euclidean Geometry: Geometric Construction
This lesson focuses on the history of geometric construction beginning with Euclid's Axioms to the simple tools such as the straight edge and the compass.
Math Open Reference
Math Open Reference: Constructions
Learn about drawing shapes using only a compass and straight edge or ruler with out measuring any lengths or angles.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Geometric Definitions
Check your understanding of the definitions of geometry terms in this exercise. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.
