Unit 5
Activities- 1 Working with the Pythagorean Theorem
Try these real life scenarios involving the Pythagorean Theorem. eText- 2 Glencoe Mathematics: Pre-Algebra
These are companion resources to the Pre-Algebra textbook and include: the online student edition (See your math teacher for the login code), student workbooks, calculator support, homework help, chapter and lesson review resources, self-checking quizzes, a multilingual glossary, and more. eTools- 3 Animated Pythagorean Theorem
This interactive figure illustrates the idea that for any right triangle with sides a and b, and hypotenuse h, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. - 4 Pythagorean Theorem
The interactive figure in this activity can help students understand the Pythagorean relationship and gives them experience with transformations that preserve area but not shape. - 5 TransmoGrapher
This activity allows the user to experiment with translation, reflection and rotation in the Cartesian coordinate plane. Games- 6 Villainy, Inc. (For use throughout this marking period)
Welcome to the Anti-Villainy Unit! As an agent in the AVU, your mission is to thwart the evil plans of Dr. Eugene Wick, ID, his sidekick Platypus, and all the Goons in his front company, Villainy Inc. Carefully coordinated with national and state content standards, this site contains activities that explore statistics and probability, algebra, geometry, decimals, percents, negative numbers, and more.

Tutorials- 15 Construct a Perpendicular Line Segment
- 16 Construct Congruent Triangles
- 17 Constructing Right Triangles
These applets demonstrate the procedures for constructing a right triangle given the lengths of the two legs or the length of one leg and the hypotenuse. - 18 Interactive Movies - Polygons
This Flash movie walks you through some of the important concepts related to the description and characteristics of polygons. Everything from triangles to octagons are covered. You can move back and forth through the material and skip areas that you already understand. Videocasts- 19 Pythagorean Theorem BrainPOP
BrainPOP contains short, animated movies that speak to kids in a language and voice that they understand. Developed according to national standards (NCTM, NSES, & NCTE), BrainPOP's topics present students with an engaging, enlightening, and entertaining view of a given subject. Web- 20 Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
- 21 Transformations - Composition
This manipulative lets students see the result of two (isometry) transformations sequentially, rotation followed by rotation, rotation followed by translation, etc.
Unit 6
Activities- 1 How High?
Learn about conservation of volume by pouring a liquid from a container to a differently shaped container. eTools- 2 Geoboard
This tool allows the user to investigate, describe, and reason about the results of subdividing, combining, and transforming shapes using models and representations as well as develop, understand, and use formulas to find the perimeter and area of rectangles and other polygons - 3 Shape Explorer
This applet allow the user to test his or her skill at calculating the area and perimeter of a given figure. - 4 Surface Area and Volume
This activity allows the user to to manipulate three-dimensional polyhedrons to experiment with surface area and volume. Text- 5 10-07

Web- 11 Area and Perimeter: Quadrilaterals and Circles
This site allows the user to explore procedures for calculating the area and perimeter of quadrilaterals and circumference of circles.
Unit 7
eTools- 1 Box Plot/Histogram
This interactive tool allows the user to create box plots and histograms using the same data set. - 2 Box Plotter
Use your own data (or sample provided data) to create a box and whisker plot. - 3 Histogram
This activity allows the user to view and make their own histograms. A histogram is defined as a bar graph that shows frequency data. - 4 Histograms
From time to time you might have to deal with a bunch of raw numbers. This can data from your lab class, some data you obtained at work, or perhaps a survey. So the question is, "What are you supposed to do with this data?" This site can help. - 5 Linear Regression
This applet allows you to investigate a regression line, sometimes known as a "line of best fit." - 6 Scatterplot
Using this virtual manipulative you may: add data points, view graph information, move a data point, delete a data point, change the display region, clear the graph, and load data from file. Graphing Calculator- 7 Box and Whisker Plots
