  • Students practice finding measures of angles in Isosceles Triangles in this group collaborative activity. Teacher passes out 4 different versions of the worksheet, students work to solve the problems getting help from their group. When the timer goes off, students meet in one of the four corners matching their worksheet to compare and correct their answers, discussing with a new group.

  • Are you looking for an interactive and self-correcting resource to practice finding the measure of segments in circles with your students? There are 2 different pictures with 16 problems for each picture. Students start with the picture totally covered by the answer boxes. As they answer each question correctly, more and more of the covered picture is revealed.
  • Looking for a collaborative activity that gets kids working together using the distance formula, talking about math and helping each other learn? Partner Practice is that activity. This resource has 3 different pairs of collaborative worksheets for students. Pairs of students complete worksheets of different problems that have the same answer. So students each do problem 1 and compare answers to see if they match.
