Graphing Polygons on the Coordinate Plane to Find Area/Perimeter
This activity asks the students to plot various ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the points to make a polygon. Then they are expected to calculate the area and/or perimeter of each shape. The first worksheet has a square, two rectangles and a triangle. The triangle is starred to show higher level thinking. Each polygon is to be colored a different color. The second worksheet asks the students to plot the points of five polygons: a triangle, two rectangles and two composite f

Triangle Congruence Matching Activity
This is a triangle congruence matching activity that I've used in my class as a two person matching activity. I've used this at the end of class to see if students knew how to solve these problems and as a warm up lesson to start off the day. There are 10 matching sets of cards: 2 for SSS, 2 for SAS, 2 for ASA, 2 for AAS, and 2 for Hypotenuse Leg (HL). I hope your students enjoy this.
I have a website that has videos to explain all of these triangle congruence statements. Go to www.doucehou

Trigonometry Golf
I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!
