Population Density Activity
I do this activity with my Geometry class during a unit of Volume as a fun and interesting research activity to show how population density (population/area) and density (mass/volume) are related. I use Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the United States in the activity, but it could be easily adapted to your home town and state. To pique their interest, I also show this video beforehand:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc4HxPxNrZ0We generally have some discussion after watching it to talk about what i

Geometry Review: Similarity & Transformation with Hands-On Cultural Activity
This was a project for my Mathematics Methods class at UCLA. As it turns out, I got a little carried away with it. I shared this activity with the math teachers at my school, and they appreciated it.Please note that this activity should be completed only after lessons are provided to discuss area, surface area, volume, and transformation (dilation, rotation, and reflection). This project provides a hands-on activity to help students who are kinetic learners conceptualize transformation and under
