Less than $5 6th Grade Geometry Centers (by price, high to low)

This project lets students learn about the physics and math behind tensegrity structures as they research and create one with their team. After introducing the lesson with a short video (link included in resources), students work with their team to create a basic tensegrity structure following a short tutorial. Then, utilizing the knowledge gained from this, they build a second tensegrity structure of their choice, utilizing the principles and design ideas of tensegrity. As they work through both builds, they record their information on the included Engineering Design Process Planning Sheet with their team. Next, students present their project to the class and explain their design choices. Finally, students reflect on and summarize their learning with short answers to questions about the experience and what they learned.

This lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade, but could also be used successfully in upper elementary grades or high school as well.

Files included (non-editable, .pdf files):

• Teacher & Student Resources

• Student Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric

• Team Sign Up Sheet

• Engineering Design Process Planning Sheet

• Reflection Questions

Students need to know how to sort 2D shapes and identify the name of each figure. This interactive activity meant to help your kids understand how we classify shapes into categories based on their attributes, an interactive notebook made different! A cut and paste activity for 2D shapes that helps students review different properties of shapes. Using groups and subgroups instead of arrows will help kids see the relationship between shapes more clearly.

Please see the preview as it is exactly what you will receive in your download.

This no prep hands-on activity is great for use as printable cut and paste center or practice activity. Just print and go!

Or you can laminate the graphic organizer + the shapes and use it as a group activity.

Shapes included:

• Non-Polygons: Circle, Moon shape, Heart, ...
• Triangles: Equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, right, obtuse, Right and isosceles.
• Quadrilaterals: Square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite.
• More than 4 sides: Pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, Octagon.

I created two versions of this sheet colored and black.

This resource is a self checking task card scavenger hunt that works on measuring angles using the protractor that is lined up on the angles. This resource could be done by students independently or within a group to supplement classroom content, practice for classroom assessments or state tests, or used as used as a review. Students will love the challenge and stay engaged in the task!

Students can begin at any task card; they must write the task card letter in the circle in the first box on the student work page. They complete the equation on that task card and record their work in the box on the work page. They will know that their answer is correct by finding that specific answer in the "Previous Answer" section on another task card. That one would be the next task card in their sequence and they would repeat the process until they have completed all task cards. The last task card should lead them back to the original one that they started with. **If their answer is NOT found on any of the task cards under the "Previous Answer" sections, students will know that their answer is incorrect and they need to try again.

Step by step directions, (with pictures), are included as well as an answer key with every possible correct sequence that students could have depending on which task card they start with.

Working on Geometry skills? Are your students to find the measure of adjacent, or missing, angles? This DOUBLE set of 32 task cards (64 task cards in all) will give your students some much needed practice with this geometry related skill set! You get 32 multiple choice cards and 32 short answer cards. There is something here for everyone! Also included are 4 bonus practice sheets, a blank answer page, and answer keys. Use these task cards for a variety of activities - whole group games such as Scoot or Jeopardy; small group work, independent seat work, workstations or centers, or for test review. Mine love to do "math around the room". I tape the cards up around the room and allow them time to "find" the cards and solve them as they move around.
