As I did this, I realized about one unit into it, it would make much more sense to type the list so I could change it later. I continued to write everything out anyway because it was relaxing, kind of like using an adult coloring book.
Then I realized, it would be even more beneficial to type the list and share it with other teachers. Then I realized that not just sharing the list, but also linking to everything would be really helpful. So below is my list of the activities I've curated for Geometry over the last five years. Some of these I used only once, some of these I've used every year since finding it, and some of these are recent purchases that I haven't had a chance to try out. Many of these are items for sale on Teachers Pay Teachers. I am linking everything I use that is available online, but I am not in anyway sponsored to write this post. I simply want to share what I have used/will be using to help other Geometry teachers that do not know where to start. (There are a few things missing because I made my own resources out of copyrighted material that I cannot share online.) Many items are new purchases because I went a little nuts during the TPT back to school sale.
Key:
* = paid TPT item
+ = my paid TPT item
# = new item that I have not yet used

Activity Notes:
My students generally enjoy the "Math Lib" activities. As they go through the stations I set up in my classroom, they write out a silly story. Math Lib downloads usually include an editable Power Point version where you can change the names of the teachers to teachers in your school or any other element of the story. Some students tolerate the mazes, other like them because they are more motivating than a worksheet. I love mazes because they are easy to check.
What are your go-to Geometry activities?
