Geometry can be both fascinating and challenging for middle school students. Without visual models, students struggle with the underlying concepts of congruence and transformations. Students need hands-on tools and activities to wrap their minds around 8th grade Geometry concepts and vocabulary.
Kaleidoscopes, tesselations, and other geometric design projects allow students to bring their natural creativity to the math curriculum. By using compasses, protractors, and grids to perform their own transformations, students start to understand how shapes may be moved on the coordinate grid, and how they can prove shapes are congruent. This, in turn, will prepare them for success in high school.
