Get hundreds of interactive activity plans using the Zome Modeling System. Among dozens of lessons, a first exposure to similar triangles can be very visual for the learner. Here, young geometers explore the number of different shapes that can be constructed from a set number of components. (Tip: This can be extended to include trying to build similar triangles and comparing the angles and sides of each.) Check out a centripetal force lesson where learners create spinners, or a Fibonacci activity where they examine plant symmetries.
