What educators are saying
I gave this project to my Geometry class at the end of the school year as a mini project. Students really enjoyed this project and it was very straightforward.
Only needed to tweek a little for my use and students loved it as an formative assessment. Many chose this option instead of other projects.
Description
Follow along with Jacob and his family on their summer road trip! This project is a great end-of-the-year activity for your high school geometry students, as it reviews many topics that are taught throughout the year. It can also be broken up into the individuals tasks, to give as an end of unit assessment activity for each topic.
This project is a great follow-up to many topics of geometry, including:
- Volume: Cones, pyramids, and cylinders
- Circles: Central arcs, inscribed angles, and segment lengths
- Trig Ratios: Angles of elevation and depression
- Similarity: Similar triangles and proportional parts
- Quadrilaterals: Properties of parallelograms and coordinate proof

CCSS8.G.C.9
Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSSHSG-SRT.A.2
Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
CCSSHSG-SRT.B.5
Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.
CCSSHSG-SRT.C.6
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.
CCSSHSG-SRT.C.8
Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.
