$5 - $10 Middle School Geometry Projects (by date, oldest first)

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.

This 7th Grade Geometry Mystery Project will have your students excited to review area, perimeter, surface area, volume and parallelogram angles! There is a printable and digital version of this project included! They will be solving 36 questions involving 7th grade geometry. They will get 6 clue sheets with 6 questions on each sheet. The answer choice leftover is the answer to that part of the mystery. They will fill in a storyline with their clues to see the whole mystery come together!

This project is the perfect print and go activity OR digital that will take 2-3 days to complete! There is a rubric included and an answer key. Grading couldn't be more simple.

Digital Version:

- your students will get a google slide link with the project pages imbedded in the background. They will solve the questions and type their answers in the already given text boxes and then drag a semi-transparent box over the final answer to each clue.

Check out my preview for a closer look and the video preview to see the digital version!
