Using Vases to Help Understand What Graphs Mean

Students will predict what the graph will look like for different vases as they are filled with water. Then students will use the vases of different shapes and fill them with a set amount of water before each measurement. Students then measure the height of the water in the vase (their y-interc...

Exploring Platonic Solids

This activity is best at the very beginning of a unit on solids. Students will observe Platonic solids using an interactive website (from the NLVM) projected to the whole class. Students will predict the number of edges, vertices, and faces of the five solids and record their predictions on a Lea...

Investigate Perpendicular Bisector

Student activity: Discover that any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigate-perpendicular-bisector

Midpoint of a Segment

Students review the basic geometry definitions of segment and midpoint, and learn to use drawing and measurement tools. They explore changes in measurements as the figure is altered. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes a...
