Grade Range: 6 - 10
This site contains 38 weeks of Geometry lessons provided in several formats to be easily used with interactive whiteboards. Dan Meyer is well known for his mathematics teaching methods and much of the material is hands-on, problem-based activities appropriate for any classroom. Lessons are in slide format and can be downloaded in Keynote (Mac) or PowerPoint (Windows). In addition, each week’s lessons can be downloaded as a PDF. Each lesson contains slide notes for the teacher and weekly handouts are available for use. Textbook assignments reference <i>Discovering Geometry</i>; however, these materials can be used with any textbook or materials. Each week’s lessons are also tagged making it easy to find other similar content within the site.
In the Classroom
Use the lessons provided on your interactive whiteboard or projector either on their own or as a supplement to current classroom materials. This could also be used as enrichment/advancement for gifted students or supplemental practice for struggling math students. Consider providing this link on your class website.
At Home
Use this site as enrichment/advancement for your gifted student or supplemental practice for struggling math students. Encourage your middle-level mathematician to explore this site to learn more about geometric concepts.
