Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

Unit Conversion (Unit Factor Method) Challenge Stations
I believe unit conversions / stoichiometry / dimensional analysis is one of the most important skills to master. It is so useful in real life, whether traveling internationally, cooking, building, sewing, etc. After the 50th worksheet and word problem, I decided to make activities and stations for my students to practice unit conversions. Each station is set up for a different “real life” scenario that could involve unit conversion. You can modify the scenarios to fit the materials you have, but

Distances in Solar System and Universe
This is a two for one activity set. Both of them involve taking distances in space and scaling them down to sizes observable on Earth. The first activity calculates sizes of the planets based on shrinking the Earth down to a 1cm diameter and then showing the spacing of the planets on a football field. The students will also calculate the mass distribution in the solar system between the planets and the sun. The second activity takes distances in the universe and scales them down to the Earth.

Engineering: Weights and Measures Conversion Tables
A weights and measures conversion table is useful when converting and calculating engineering, construction and STEM problem solving projects and activities. It helps students learn how to locate information and convert that information into their calculations. The conversion table also allows teachers to increase the rigor in their activities and problem solving projects by supplying students access to the needed information to accurately calculate a complex problem.
