Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids using Nets | Hands on Activity
This product will help your kinesthetic learners make connections as they experience calculating total surface area and lateral surface area with this hands on activity. Students work in partners to determine the names of the shapes when the nets are constructed, measure the nets themselves (to the nearest half centimeter), and then calculate both the total and the lateral surface area. I have personally used this in class, even one year during a formal observation! I loved how it required my

Introduction to Geometric Proofs Fall 2013 (with Answer Key) (Editable)
Let's face it: Geometric Proofs are very difficult for students, and they're very difficult for teachers to teach, because there is so much information required to get across (such as knowing that the idea that 3 = 3 is the "reflexive property of equality.")
To get my Geometry students started, I try to have them work first with algebraic proofs, of which they are much more confident, as they already know the basic steps (add 3 to both sides, divide both sides by 6, etc.)
