Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids using Nets | Hands on Activity
This product will help your kinesthetic learners make connections as they experience calculating total surface area and lateral surface area with this hands on activity. Students work in partners to determine the names of the shapes when the nets are constructed, measure the nets themselves (to the nearest half centimeter), and then calculate both the total and the lateral surface area. I have personally used this in class, even one year during a formal observation! I loved how it required my

Geometry - Area and Perimeter - An Exploration on the Geoboard
This activity is designed to be used with a geoboard (11 x 11 pegs). An alternative for geoboards is included in this package (index size cards with 11 x 11 geoboards). Students explore the meaning of perimeter and area by constructing polygons on the geoboard with rubber bands or drawing line segments that represent the rubber bands on the index size cards. The activity can also be used with Communicator Clearboards, available from Educator's Outlet and a copy of a student grid. After the st

Symmetry Light Energy Lab Activity Create a Symmetrical Design PRINT and DIGITAL
In this STEAM science lab experiment, students create a symmetrical design using a window as a light box for tracing. In the process, they'll learn about symmetry and how light boxes work (sunlight shines through translucent paper and casts shadows because of the opaque ink markings). This activity is the perfect way to blend math (geometry) and science (light energy) with art and design!

Discovering the Area of a Circle Activity
I give each student one half sheet with the instructions and 2 circles. The instructions advise the students to cut out the left circle into 8 sectors and shape their sectors into a parallelogram. Before the next step, we discuss as a class what the formula is for finding the area of a parallelogram and how we can use that to derive the formula for the area of a circle. My 7th graders usually spend about 20 minutes on this activity. They will need prior knowledge of the circumference formulas an

Transformations -- Virtual Manipulatives for Middle School Math Common Core
This lab guides students through five of the transformations virtual manipulatives (applets) from the nlvm website: Translations, Reflections, Rotations, Dilations, and Compositions. These virtual manipulatives are a great way for students to explore the foundations of transformations in a fun and conceptual format. My students really enjoy working through these labs and I enjoy the math understanding and discussions that follow. Six other nlvm labs for Middle School Math are available in My TpT
Geodesic Dome Design and Evaluation with Jelly Beans and Toothpicks
A three page lab for building a geodesic dome using jelly beans and toothpicks. This lab can be adapted to use other materials: marshmallows, gum drops, etc. as a homework project. There is a "re-mix" sheet to use for this purpose. One lab page is for construction of a dome by different student groups and one lab page is for the evaluation of the other domes created by the student groups.
