The purpose of this task is to strengthen students' understanding of area. It could be assigned in class to individuals or small groups or given as a homework exercise to generate interesting discussions the following day. The relatively high levels of complexity and technical demand enhance its instructional value.

The accuracy and simplicity of this experiment are amazing. A wonderful project for students, which would necessarily involve team work with a different school and most likely a school in a different state or region of the country, would be to try to repeat Eratosthenes' experiment.
Working individually or in groups, students explore the concept of stress (compression) …
Working individually or in groups, students explore the concept of stress (compression) through physical experience and math. They discover why it hurts more to poke themselves with mechanical pencil lead than with an eraser. Then they prove why this is so by using the basic equation for stress and applying the concepts to real engineering problems.

The attached PDF provides learners with a unique way to find geometric shapes through pictures. In the case, the search is for Trapezoids and Parallelograms. Use, revise, or be inspired by the ideas and create your own to support your learners.
The purpose of this task is to give 4th grade students a …
The purpose of this task is to give 4th grade students a problem involving an unknown quantity that has a clear visual representation. Students must understand that the four interior angles of a rectangle are all right angles and that right angles have a measure of 90_ and that angle measure is additive.
This task "Uses facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in …
This task "Uses facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure (7.G.5)" except that it requires students to know, in addition, something about parallel lines, which students will not see until 8th grade.
The purpose of this task is for students to translate between measurements …
The purpose of this task is for students to translate between measurements given in a scale drawing and the corresponding measurements of the object represented by the scale drawing.
The purpose of this task is to give students practice working the …
The purpose of this task is to give students practice working the formulas for the volume of cylinders, cones and spheres, in an engaging context that provides and opportunity to attach meaning to the answers.

A structured geometry program teacher edition of daily lesson plans and teacher supports to accompany the College Access Reader: Geometry student edition.
The goal of this task is to use ideas about linear functions …
The goal of this task is to use ideas about linear functions in order to determine when certain angles are right angles. The key piece of knowledge implemented is that two lines (which are not vertical or horizontal) are perpendicular when their slopes are inverse reciprocals of one another.
