This website shows a collection of videos, games, activities and worksheets that are suitable for any grade. You click the grade that you wish to have activities for.
I need to learn sine cosine and tangent formulas and found this mneumonic: An easy way to remember these relationships for trig functions and the right triangle. Just write down this mnemonic: SOH - CAH - TOA It is pronounced "so - ka - toe - ah".

The SOH stands for " Sine of an angle is Opposite over Hypotenuse." The CAH stands for " Cosine of an angle is Adjacent over Hypotenuse." The TOA stands for " Tangent of an angle is Opposite over Adjacent." ~Stacey Pellegrino wk 4

Another mnuemonic for learning sine,cosine, and tangent: Some Of Her Children Are Having Trouble Over Algebra" (sin A = opp/hyp; cosA = adj/hyp; tan A = opp/adj). --Charlene Daugherty

====[] This is a website where students can practice what they have learned. It gives a brief explanation of the specific skill being practiced and allows students to do timed quizzes based on that skill. This website is great for drill and practice, but is not visually appealing and lacks interaction!====

-Mike Zwanch //TY RM W3//
This website allows users to explore the properties of various regular and irregular shapes as well as mirror and rotational symmetry. **[]** Jennifer Combellack W5

====[] I really enjoyed this site. It is called Shape Cutters. This website has a tool that helps you explore how to decompose shapes and recompose them to make other shapes. You can draw and cut shapes and also use slides, turns, and flips to move pieces around.==== Mary Ann Durkin W#2

[] This is a great website that allows students to watch a short video clip about circumference, radius, and diameter. After the video, students play an interactive game in which they have to solve problems to find the circumference of a circle. If they get the problem right, they get to shoot a basketball to earn points. Students try to earn the most points by answering the questions correctly. Mallory Zoeller

Kim Kunec This is a great online game site that can help students from pre-k to grade 8 learn geometry skills, as well as any math skill. The games are quite fun![| http://www.ixl.com/]

Shape Finder is a very straightforward, drill and practice game that may be used by teachers to reinforce shape recognition in early grades. The site does not have pop up ads or other distractions for young children and uses audio prompts rather than relying on written texts. Incorrect answers are clearly distinguished from correct answers, and students have the opportunity to correctly respond. Figures such as circle, square, rectangle, triangle, heart and oval are used. Statistical summaries of student performance are not provided. [] ~DANA COOPER

I found this website for geometry. Its very kid friendly and has every grade level, so students can work on and above their levels. [] Jessica Zmijewski

__Computing an area using Pythagorean Theorem-__ A side of an equilateral triangle is 32 m long. What is the area? If you draw h as the height we get 2 right triangles with the same dimensions. So you would have the equation of 16^2 + h^2 = 32^2. 16 came from the base of 32 but it was cut in half when we drew the line for the height. So now you just do the math. 16 squared = 256 and 32 squared = 1,024. You subtract 256 from both sides to get h squared by itself and on the right side you would have 1,024 - 256 = 768. then you have to take teh square root of 768 to get 27.71. We are not finished yet! Now we have all our numbers needed to find the area. Area of a triangle equals 1/2 b * h 1/2 (32)(27.71) = 443.4 meters squared. Kelly Klecha week 3**.

This page gives interactive geometry problems and games to students on a variety of geometric topics. [] Jami Cadden //TY RM W3// On [|www.funbrain.com] is shape surveyor. You can pick a level, easy, medium, hard, or super hard and then you can pick either area or perimeter or both. As you answer the problems and get them correct a piece of the archeological puzzle comes off. Under the questions it tells the students how to play the game and the definitions of area and perimeter. Lori Argot week 4
