Polygon Capture. The purpose of this game is to motivate students to examine relationships among geometric properties.

Polygon Capture

From the perspective of the Van Hiele model of geometry, the students move from recognition or description to analysis (Fuys 1988). Often, when asked to describe geometric figures, middle school students mention the sides ("The opposite sides are equal") or the angles ("It has four right angles"), but they rarely use more than one property or describe how two properties are related. For example, is it possible to have a four-sided figure with opposite sides not equal and four right angles?

Or a triangle with three right angles? What geometric relationships make such figures possible or impossible? Polygon Capture Game Polygons Activity Sheet Choosing all figures in the Polygon Capture Game Polygons sheet that have parallel opposite sides is relatively easy.

Use foldables! Foldables are so much fun to make, and when students create their own, they seem to take more pride in their work. Lately I've noticed lots of great blog posts by teachers who love foldables as much as I do, so I created this Fantastic Foldable Freebies Link Up. You can learn more and find other great examples of foldables at the bottom of this blog post. Note-taking Foldables Foldables are terrific for note-taking assignments based on informational text. Below you'll find directions for making this rain forsest foldable. How to Make a Rain Forest Foldable: Give each student a large sheet of white construction paper - 12" x 18" was used in the examples above. Not only are foldables a terrific way to actively engage students, they're also great because kids can store them and refer to them later when studying for a test or completing an assignment.

Today's trip was down Fraction Street! Fraction Street is full of many different adventures. Finding common denominators, adding fractions, comparing fractions, multiplying by reciprocals, finding common factors, simplifying... and the list goes on! Our focus today was reviewing the steps to solve fraction problems with all four operations. We started with notes in a Flippable for our Interactive Notebooks (best resources EVER). Quick review in the beginning to refresh our minds on what the various parts of a fraction were and what each part meant. Each student got a copy of the blank Flippable above and was directed to have it ready as we went through notes for each operation.

Would you like a copy of the blank Flippable? And if using Flippables in class are your thing, then please take a look at my Flippable Template pack PACKED with 51 templates that you can edit and print for personal use! Polygon Capture.

AB is to CD as 1 is to 3. And if AB happens to be 1 centimeter, we would say that CD is 3 centimeters. That is, we can say that CD is "three times" AB, and "three times" is the name of the ratio -- the relationship -- of CD to AB. If AB is the unit of length, and CD is any length, will we always be able to name their ratio, that is, express it in words? 8th Grade Math Worksheets. Davitily Math Problem Generator.

Okay, let's clear this up: An equation is a complete mathematical sentence that includes a sign of equality (like an equal sign). An expression is a mathematical sentence; it doesn't have an equal sign. Let's break it down further. An expression is made up of terms. Terms are each separate values in an expression.
