Graphing
Game - You Sunk My Battle
Shape
This activity teaches Cartesian
plane coordinate geometry in a
playful competitive format.
Angles - Protractor Practice
Students will be introduced to using
a protractor by building a
model protractor with Toobeez. In
addition, students will be
challenged to design, build, and
classify angles of different types
with the Toobeez.
Pythagorean Puzzler
This activity is an excellent
introduction to a complex topic, the
Pythagorean theorem. Students will
be challenged to calculate, predict,
and build right triangles of
specified dimensions using the
Pythagorean equation.
Proving
Probability
Has your class ever had the
opportunity to prove a mathematical
phenomenon using a real experiment?
If not, check out this activity! It
couples learning the principles of
probability with observation, data
collection, and experimentation.
Review
Game - Math Hot Potato Looking
to make class review more involving?
This is a pre-test/quiz review
activity that can be modified to
review any math topic being studied.
Students play a fast-paced,
time-sensitive game to prepare them
to answer math problems under
test-taking conditions.
Geometry
- Contractor’s Crisis Ever
dread teaching the area of various
geometric shapes? This activity
couples teaching this concept with a
real-world application. The class is
challenged to be a contractor and
build a three-story house model
using Toobeez. The class is also
challenged to provide the dimensions
of each room by calculating the area
of various geometric shapes.
Geometry
- Polygons and Polyhedra
This activity is designed to enable
students to define, differentiate,
and identify various forms of 2-D
and 3-D geometric figures. Students
accomplish this by constructing,
observing, and recording information
about various geometric models made
from Toobeez.
Geometry
- A Math Riddle Euler’s
Formula: This activity allows
students to see the
development of math theory in
action! By constructing and
observing 3-D models of various
polyhedra, students will be
challenged to define a universal
mathematical equation that governs
all concave polyhedra.
Geometry
- Isosceles Introduction Finding
the area of an isosceles triangle
can be tricky. This activity makes
it a whole lot easier by using
Toobeez models to illustrate the
step-by-step strategy involved.
Students will be challenged to build
isosceles models and calculate their
area using two methods.
Geometry
Experiments - Ramp It UpLooking
for a way to teach multiple concepts
in a teambuilding format? In this
activity, students and teams work
cooperatively to understand
mathematical concepts while
conducting scientific experiments.
BONUS
- Science Activity: Building
a seismograph provides students with
an understanding of how scientific
instruments are used, and reinforces
the importance of teamwork and
precise cooperation when conducting
scientific experiments.
