Flip Book Transformation Project
Students create a flip book using Power Point to discover and/or apply properties of geometric transformations. The student handout provides detailed instructions on how to create the flip book which includes using the “duplicate slide” feature in Power Point. Students are required* to create a minimum of 10 slides with 4 different movements. Students are given the opportunity to choose what type of movements they use within given parameters. This choice provides the opportunity for great di

Clinometer Discovery Lab (Using Trigonometry)
I gave this project to both geometry and PreCalculus students. I gave them specific directions (included) on how to make a clinometer, but taught them nothing else about how to use them. They had to figure out how to use trigonometry to find the height of some objects in our commons (on a nice day, it would be awesome to go outside). Students used a lot of trial and error, and found how important it was to have an accurate diagram. I checked in frequently with each group-common errors included n

Geometry Lab for Start of School - Measuring Line Segments with Candy and Rulers
Looking for a new way to start off the year teaching Geometry? For a change of pace, rather than read the rules to the kids on the first day I decided to give them this activity instead.
Supplies Needed: Notecards, paperclips, Starbursts, rulers,
This is essentially a printable/editable packet with 6 different line segments that the students will measure using 6 different units of measurement. I chose 3 non-traditional units (notecard, paperclip, Starburst) and traditional units (Inches,

Surface Area & Volume of Oblique Prisms: Student Investigation
In this investigation, students will use raw spaghetti and mini marshmallows to discover how the surface area and volume of a prism relate to the surface area and volume of the respective oblique prism. Students will be asked to create a rectangular prism using marshmallows to connect the vertices. Using a ruler, they will measure the dimensions of the prism, calculate and record the surface area and volume. Then they will make their prism into an OBLIQUE prism by giving it a slight push to t

Pumpkin Roll Math Lab
Want to get outside and investigate pumpkins?
Real-life application of skills are really important to students making connections to math skills in the classroom. This lab covers both math and science skills of circumference, diameter, rotations and density. It does require an outdoor space such as a blacktop or track or a long hallway.
* I did not buy the pumpkins that I used. I sent out an email to parents and told kids about it in class. All pumpkins used were donated!

In this lab, students will measure the lengths and widths of five school supplies, and their desk. The document is editable so you can change the type of school supplies that you have readily available in your classroom. Students measure the dimensions in inches, and record the measurements on the given table. Then, they use the scale factor or 2 in: 3 units to convert inches to graph paper units. Once they have the units, they can create a scale drawing on graph paper of their desk covered in s
