7th Grade Geometry Projects

Real-Life Math done in the Real World!

Surface Area and Volume of right prisms could be boring and removed from real life. This task brings a practical element to the topic and helps students think about environmental and financial issues around catching and using rainwater on the roof of a shed.

Are you looking for a fun way to assess angles, lines, using a protractor to draw angles, and angle relationships? Then look no further! This fun math activity provides students with an opportunity to be an Urban Planner. They will use list of instructions to create their own Seasonal Town (Falling Leaves Town, Winter Wonderland Town, Spring Showers Town and Summer Sun Town). Each project has the same set of instructions but the street names are different to reflect the appropriate seasonal town name. This will allow you to pick a season or even create the four seasons in your classroom.

This project helps students demonstrate their knowledge in the following:

• parallel lines
• perpendicular lines
• transversal lines
• acute angles
• obtuse angles
• scalene triangle
• equilateral triangle
• isosceles triangle
• quadrilaterals
• z, c, and f patterns creating from transversal lines
• relationships between intersecting lines

There is also a rubric included for assessment purposes. I have used this project with my students and they have always enjoyed it and its quick to mark. Bonus! Students will likely need a couple of classes to complete this assessment and I would recommend having them complete a rough copy first to plan out their town.

Enjoy!

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

This project assesses students ability to draw rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids of given areas on a scaled grid. They will need to be able to use the area formulas to work backwards to find side lengths that fit the requirement for each animal and use the formulas to show that their area calculation is correct.

A detailed MYP Criterion D (Applying Mathematics in the Real World) Rubric is included.

I spent about 2 and a half 90 minute class periods on this project and many students needed to spend some time on it at home as well. I also included several days of activities I did to prepare my students for the skills they would need.

Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of constellations, measuring constellations, working on challenging math problems and creating their own constellations.

Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.

In this document, you'll discover 32 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities in line with geometry and angles which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways.

You'll find:

- 60 Constellation cards and a guide on how to use them.

- A second set of 60 constellation cards with "lettered" corners (i.e. ∠ABC).

- A set of response pages to measure all corners in the 60 given constellations.

- A reading comprehension piece on the history of constellations and astronomy.

- 2 pages of questions and an answer key for the reading comprehension piece.

- "Les symboles du Zodiac" - An activity sheet on naming the different constellations of the zodiac.

- A research project on a constellation:

• success criteria + detailed explanation of components;
• worksheets for research information.

- "Des calculs célestes" - 3 pages of challenging word problems with an answer key.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - A following directions activity on creating constellations with specific angles and shapes within them.

- "Crée ta propre constellation" - An activity on creating a unique constellation.

- "Art de constellation" - An art project suitable for your enriched students and your entire group as a final activity.

This is the first of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Stay tuned!

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun.
