Students are asked to draw, label, and give a precise definition of a line segment.

Students are asked to draw, label and give a precise definition of the term circle.

Students are asked to draw, label, and give a precise definition of parallel lines.

Students are asked to draw, label, and give a precise definition of perpendicular lines.

Students are asked to draw, label, and give a precise definition of an angle.

This set of geometry challenges focuses on creating circles and calculating area/circumference as students problem solve and think as they learn to code using block coding software.  Student will need to use their knowledge of the attributes of polygons and mathematical principals of geometry to accomplish the given challenges. The challenges start out fairly simple and move to more complex situations in which students can explore at their own pace or work as a team. Computer Science standards are seamlessly intertwined with the math standards while providing “Step it up!” and “Jump it up!” opportunities to increase rigor

A set of basic definitions in geometry (line segment, ray, angle, perpendicular lines, and parallel lines) is addressed. The notation used in naming each defined term is also emphasized.

This lesson introduces students to concepts and skills that they will use throughout the year. Students will learn that the terms point, and line are considered "undefined." Students will play musical chairs while learning to develop precise definitions of circle, angle, parallel line, and perpendicular line, using counterexamples at different classroom stations. Students will identify models, use notation, and make sketches of these terms.

Students will develop precise definitions of the terms angle, circle, line segment, parallel line and perpendicular line by completing a graphic organizer under the Frayer model through small and whole group discussion.

Students will practice using precise definitions while they draw images of Points, Lines, and Planes. Students will work in pairs taking turns describing an image while their partner attempts to accurately draw the image.

Students will be introduced to the undefinable concepts of points, lines, and planes that are the building blocks of geometry and recognize that these three terms become the basis for many other geometric definitions. Students will participate in a Building Block Scavenger Hunt, using cameras to photograph examples of specified terms that they find outside of the math classroom. The students will compose a power point to display their photographs of the required terms.
This lesson is adapted from a presentation that included an activity by Dianne Olix, 1995.

This is a ray drawing activity to aid students in their understanding of how virtual images are formed by plane mirrors, and how the image size and distance from the mirror compare to those of the object.

This problem solving task asks students to find the area of a triangle by using unit squares and line segments.

This problem solving task challenges students to find the perpendicular meeting point of a segment from the center of a circle and a tangent.

In this tutorial, students are introduced to the concept that three non-collinear points are necessary to define a unique plane.

Before learning any new concept it's important students learn and use common language and label concepts consistently. This tutorial introduces students to th point, line and plane.

This tutorial is great practice for help in identifying parallel and perpendicular lines.

In this tutorial we will learn the basics of geometry, such as identifying a line, ray, point, and segment.

This video illustrates how to determine if the graphs of a given set of equations are parallel.
