What makes a good activity? This is something I ask myself every day! I try to make my activities fun, effective, and challenging. With some topics, this is easier than others!
For my curriculum web, I have chosen to focus on 7th grade pre-march geometry standards. This topic is ideal for hands-on and internet activities. The following are some internet activities and the standards they would be reinforcing:
6.G.11 Calculate the area of basic polygons drawn on a coordinate plane (rectangles and shapes composed of rectangles having sides with integer lengths)

7.G.1. Calculate the radius or diameter, given the circumference or area of a circle

7.G.2 Calculate the volume of prisms and cylinders, using a given formula and a calculator

7.G.4 Determine the surface area of prisms and cylinders, using a calculator and a variety of methods

7.G.3 Identify the two-dimensional shapes that make up the faces and bases of three-dimensional shapes (prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids)
