8th Grade Geometry Centers (by date, oldest first)

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.

• Student Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric

• Team Sign Up Sheet

Ce jeu de 52 cartes flash sur les formes et l'espace est conçu pour améliorer la compréhension des concepts géométriques de vos élèves en présentant des problèmes écrits sans nombres, les défiant à associer le langage aux opérations géométriques et aux formules de manière amusante et engageante.

Vos élèves ont-ils du mal avec les problèmes écrits (problèmes écrits) pour identifier quelle opération géométrique utiliser ? J'ai créé cette collection de cartes flash spécifiquement pour aider les élèves à se concentrer sur la reconnaissance des formes et de l'espace ainsi que sur le vocabulaire associé. Comme ces cartes flash mettent l'accent sur le vocabulaire plutôt que sur les valeurs numériques, elles sont idéales pour les élèves de la 4e année et plus, en particulier ceux qui ont du mal à distinguer les différentes opérations géométriques.

Caractéristiques principales :

• Problèmes écrits : Chaque carte flash présente un problème écrit sans valeurs numériques, encourageant les élèves à identifier l'opération géométrique correcte (comme l'aire, le périmètre ou le volume) nécessaire pour le résoudre.
• Utilisation polyvalente : Cet outil pédagogique est hautement adaptable, offrant différentes façons d'engager les élèves. Utilisez-le dans des activités en grand groupe, un jeu des quatre coins en classe, du travail en binôme (en imprimant plusieurs copies), ou en petits groupes.
• Miniature d'affiche ancrée : Une affiche ancrée miniature est incluse, mettant en avant les trois opérations fondamentales sur les formes et l'espace : l'aire, le périmètre et le volume. Cette affiche sert de référence pratique pour les élèves, leur permettant de travailler sur les cartes flash de manière autonome.
• Clé de réponse : Pour plus de commodité, une clé de réponse est fournie afin de vérifier rapidement et évaluer les réponses des élèves.

Pourquoi choisir les cartes flash sur les opérations et les problèmes écrits ?

• Apprentissage amélioré : En se concentrant sur les problèmes écrits, les élèves développent une compréhension plus approfondie des concepts mathématiques et renforcent leurs compétences en résolution de problèmes.
• Association du langage : Les élèves apprennent à associer des indices linguistiques spécifiques à l'opération mathématique correspondante, renforçant ainsi leur compréhension et leurs capacités d'application.
• Engagement interactif : Le caractère interactif de ces cartes flash rend l'apprentissage des mathématiques agréable et interactif, favorisant une attitude positive envers les défis mathématiques.

This 3D shapes puzzle is a fun way to test students recognition of 3D shapes, complete with their properities. Students match the image of a shape with the name, its properties of number of faces, vertices & edges, and a possible net.

18 shapes are included: Sphere, Cube, Cuboid (two versions), Square Based Pyramid, Cylinder, Cone, Regular Tetrahedron, Hexagonal Prism, Triangular Prism, Irregular Pentagonal Prism, Hemisphere, Square Pyramidal Frustum, Conical Frustum, Dodecahedron, Icosehedron, Irregular Tetrahedron and Octahedron.

Two versions are included; one where the 3D shapes are solid, and another where the 3D shapes are wire frames so students can see the number of edges etc. This is also a good option for using less ink when printing.

It is designed to be easily cut with little wastage. So either the teacher or tutor can prepare the cards by cutting them before hand, or students can cut their own cards, giving them a chance to see the solutions before they attempt the puzzle.

Although this product is made in colour, it prints perfectly well in black and white.

This game is available in a 5 for 3 bundle. It is a simple game of match-up. 3 quadrilateral shapes are placed onto the table, and players take turns to place their properties down against them. The first to get rid of all their cards wins. The game is easily prepared thanks to easy-cut guides. A full set of rules is included and a cheat sheet just in case players get stuck.

This pack contains a set of 24 questions differentiated four ways (96 cards) on the subject of Geometry. They are designed completely from scratch with simplicity, professionalism and concentration in mind.

This Task Card Set is available in a money saving bundle offer. Click here for more information

The questions are formulated to provide a mix of real life situations and pure geometry problems from a wide range of geometry subjects, such as pythagoras, symmetry, circles and more. The cards introduce the idea that Geometry has a function in the real world. These questions provide a strong base for the continued learning of Basic Geometry and a good grounding for further and more complex study.

Each question is differentiated in 4 ways across 4 cards. The easiest are the Red Questions and then the Yellow. The Green cards offer a little more challenge by asking additional questions, and finally the Challenge cards are designed to push the most able.
