Circumference and Area of a Circle
Students will practice using simple measuring skills to discover relationships between the diameter, radius, circumference, and area of circular objects. Students will understand why Pi is used when working with circles. They will be able to use this concept to find circumference and area of any circle when diameter or radius is given. This lesson has many real world applications such as understanding area of a circular rug to use as a floor covering and calculating circular lengths for landscaping.

Locate Points in the Coordinate Plane
- The purpose of this lesson is to enable students to locate points that lie in a plane formed by two intersecting axes. The students will understand that the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical on the coordinate plane. Also, the students will be able to identify the location of a point shown by two numbers called an ordered pair. Understanding the coordinate plane is important for real world concepts of geometry and algebra for graphing and solving equations.

Location, Location, Location: Navigating in the Coordinate Plane
In this lesson, students will learn the basic knowledge or a coordinate grid and what it is useful. Students will learn to plot points and use points to determine location. Knowledge of the coordinate plane is a precursor to more advanced geometry and trigonometry. In and of itself, however, the application of some sort of organized locator plan is used in groceries, department stores, parking lots, campuses of colleges and large businesses, and, locally, in at least four factories.

Profit and Growth
Students will understand and apply scale, similar shapes, and proportional reasoning forming a bridge between scale drawings and real objects.
Students will use the skill learned to plan events by dividing the space to be used appropriately, and by knowing how many tables and chairs are to be used based on the number of individuals attending the planned event.
Scale drawing will assist students in preparing ahead designing the space to be used. Because of understanding scale drawing, students can know exactly how many tables and chairs can be placed in a given space.
Scale drawing is a visual representation of the space.

Task-Based Pythagoras
This lesson will teach students how to properly use and analyze the Pythagorean Theorem through a Task Analysis teaching method. Students will have a step-by-step guide that will assist them in following ordered directions to reach an end goal. This lesson will teach students to self-assess their work and how to trouble shoot when problem solving with the Pythagorean formula.

Things That Are Round
The purpose of this lesson is to expand student's knowledge of using the volume formulas. Students will use volume formulas to calculate volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres as well as calculate missing dimensions for real-world problems. Students will use these skills to determine the difference in volume of a rectangular shaped pool and a cylindrical shaped pool. Also, student will look at the amount of space four ice cubes take up after melting into a cylindrical shaped container. The ability to use and explain volume formulas is a major work for Level E Geometry.
Students will use many previously learned skills in this lesson in order to calculate volume and the missing dimensions when given volume. Students will need to have an understanding of substitution and solving equations for a variable. Students will also need to be familiar with converting units of measure.

Volume of a Rectangular Solid
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce how to determine the volume of a rectangular prism. Students will measure and calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. Many previously learned skills will be used in this lesson in order to calculate the volume of different rectangular prisms. Students will discuss where these skills would be needed in real life and what jobs would require these skills. Application of these skills will be used to design a package for a new brownie.
