Exploring Angles, Lines and Triangles Through Project-Based Learning

Abstract

This project was created by a teacher for teachers, providing a hands-on learning module for a geometry classroom. The project-based learning module emphasizes collaboration and communication as part of the task. Topics include congruence and similarity as well as theorems involving lines, angles and triangles. Students will also apply geometric methods to solve design problems. Recommendations for how implement each phase of the project have been provided by the author. Additionally, scoring rubrics have been provided. The project-based learning module is aligned to the New York State Next Generation Standards for Mathematics, specifically geometry standards throughout secondary grade levels.
