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

Math Lab: The Tangent Ratio, a Clinometer, and Inaccessible Heights
The following math lab is a follow-up to lessons on the Trigonometric Ratios:* In the lab, students follow steps to create a measuring device called The Clinometer* Students use the Clinometer to measure objects of inaccessible heights such as trees or flag poles.* To measure the objects, students use their Clinometer and apply the Tangent Ratio.* Students work with a partner. * One partner looks through the Clinometer while the other partner records the data required to calculate the tange

Length, Volume, and Mass
This unit describes the standard units for length, volume, and mass in the metric system, as well as conversions between units within both the metric and English systems. It includes activities and assignments that strengthen student understanding of the simplicity of the metric system and its foundation on the powers of ten.

MaLab Complementary and Supplementary Angles from Light Rays/DISTANCE LEARNING
Students have a great time with this lab learning about complementary and supplementary angles as seen through the following activity using light rays!
* Students begin the activity by defining Complementary and Supplementary angles
* Students observe light traveling in straight, parallel lines through the teeth of a comb
* Students learn about angles of incidence and angles of reflection using light, the comb and a mirror.
* Students calculate the complements and supplements to the ang

Math Lab: Investigating Volume/DISTANCE LEARNING/NO PREP
In the following lab, students enjoy a "hands-on" activity to learn the reasoning behind the formulas used in calculating for volume in two solids, the pyramid and the prism.
* Students draw the nets on poster board for a pyramid and a prism, given precise measurements.
* Students carefully cut the nets out and fold according to directions.
* Students use unpopped popcorn, uncooked rice, or dried beans to fill their solids.
* Students compare the volume of a pyramid and a prism with

Math Lab: The Distance Formula/DISTANCE LEARNING/NO PREP
I am extremely happy to offer the following math lab on The Distance Formula!
* Students are instructed to use their imagination and chart the path of a tornado that picks up a house in the New Orleans area and puts it down in the southern Florida area.
* The longitude and latitude coordinates of the tornado's path are provided on a table
* A tracking map is provided for students to transfer the data from the table to the map.
* Students calculate the distance between the starting po

Pythagorean Theorem Investigation
A visual proof of the Pythagorean Theorem as a PPT presentation. On the last slide, there is a .doc file embedded for use as a geometric investigation of the Pythagorean Theorem, having students arrive at the geometric idea of "The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the legs" before the general algebraic "a^2 + b^2 = c^2"
