| Quadrilaterals in the Coordinate Plane | Geometry Lesson Plan |
| In this lesson, "Students will be able to apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals using coordinate geometry." This lesson plan consists of a warm-up activity on slope then a main lesson where students must apply the slope formula, midpoint formula, and the distance formula to justify that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram given the coordinates of its vertices. This lesson plan contains two worksheets and a formula sheet handout. | |

| Unit Plan: Measuring Up | Geometry Lesson Plan |
This unit lesson plan "explores the concepts of proportional reasoning, ratio, and indirect measurement. Students engage in a variety of activities that involve taking their own measurements, exploring different ratios, and examining similar figures. Students convert measurements into customary and metric units. These activities immerse students in problem solving, reasoning, and making connections to real-life situations". This unit plan consists of the following individual lessons:

| Deductive and Inductive Reasoning | Geometry Lesson Plan |
| "Maybe you’ve seen Dr. House in action – figuring things out from what seem like totally unrelated clues. Like Sherlock Holmes before him, House is a master of induction. In this lesson, students will keep up with the doctor (and a lawyer, too) as they learn how to spot – and analyze – both inductive and deductive arguments. Students will then get a chance to show off their deductive skills by solving a logic puzzle and test their inductive abilities by solving a 5-minute mystery". | |

| Pieces of Proof | Geometry Lesson Plan |
| "There is a leap to be made from understanding postulates and theorems in geometry to writing proofs using them. This lesson offers an intermediate step, in which students put together the statements and reasons to build a formal proof." This great lesson plan includes a handout containing six sample proofs. | |

| Transformations - Reflections & Dilations | Geometry Lesson Plan |
| "Students will be able to identify and compare the three congruence transformations, apply the three congruence transformations to coordinates of the vertices of figures, identify and apply dilations, and apply transformations to real-world situations." This lesson plan includes three worksheets: Reflections over Two Lines, Dilations using Measurement, and Transformations. | |
