The Geometry of Letters
Use the alphabet as a tool for teaching your class about geometric figures. Break apart capital letters into line segments and arcs. Classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse. Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. An excellent...
Curated OER
Electric Hoist Problem
Middle schoolers convert angle measures between degrees and radians. They are given a copy of the task sheet with a graphic to help describe the situation. Pupils review the angle and arc relationship in a circle related to length of...
Curated OER
Chords of Circle
In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems using parallel chords, perpendicular bisectors and chords that are equal distance from the center.
Curated OER
Connecting Algebra and Geometry Through Coordinates
This unit on connecting algebra and geometry covers a number of topics including worksheets on the distance formula, finding the perimeter and area of polynomials, the slope formula, parallel and perpendicular lines, parallelograms,...

Graphing the Sine and Cosine Functions
Doing is more effective than watching. Learners use spaghetti to discover the relationship between the unit circle and the graph of the sine and cosine functions. As they measure lengths on the unit circle and transfer them to a...
Curated OER
Construct, Bisect, Duplicate: Geometry Practice with Compass and Straight Edge
Geometers employ a straight edge and compass to duplicate and bisect segments and angles, construct perpendiculars, parallel lines, figures, and circles with points of concurrency. Ample practice with 65 questions across 8 worksheets. No...
Curated OER
Sectors of Pizza
Students identify the properties of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.
Curated OER
DEAD MAN'S CURVE
Ninth graders, after being given a unique scenario and a task sheet on Dead Man's Curve, calculate and explain the force needed to keep a car on a curve using a set of formulas and a geometric property of circles. They utilize and create...
Curated OER
Angles and Arcs
Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs.
Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.
Teachers' Domain
Introduction to Angle Measure
An all-encompassing package provides video clips that demonstrate real-world activities that have to do with angles. After watching the Cyberchase cartoons, learners discuss why a "v" shape is used to measure a turn. A pair of vital...
