Instructional Ideas

• Use on Pi Day (3/14) as part of your lesson or celebration
• Assign the worksheets in a math homework packet, or include them in a geometry assignment
• Set up the activities as stations and have class members rotate through in small groups

Classroom Considerations

• The lessons are split into two days, but you could spread them out over a longer period of time, or condense your preferred activities into one class period
• Designed for middle schoolers, but helpful for high school learners or older elementary learners in need of a challenge
• References the Notebook program, but you could use the lessons and worksheets on their own as well

Pros

• Each lesson comes with different ways to apply and investigate the knowledge of geometry
• Provides reflection activities that would make great homework assignments

Cons

• None
