Curriculum
Advice, reviews, and resources to help you choose a math curriculum!
This is a long webpage, listing lots of geometry resources. I have grouped them by the subtopics in geometry, so please see the following list. Each topic has resources that fit many grade levels.
Interactivate! Tessellate
An online, interactive tool for creating your own tessellations. Choose a shape, then edit its corners or edges. The program automatically changes the shape so that it will tessellate (tile) the plane. Then push the tessellate button to see your creation!

Classify Quadrilaterals Worksheets
Make free printable worksheets for classifying (idenfitying, naming) quadrilaterals. There are seven special types of quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite, scalene, and these worksheets ask students to name the quadrilaterals among these seven types. www.homeschoolmath.net/worksheets/classify_quadrilaterals.php
Quadrilateral Classification Game
A virtual manipulative that challenges students to "draw" quadrilaterals with specific characteristics by moving vertices on a coordinate grid.

Triangle Classification at Cut The Knot
A tutorial and an applet about classifying triangles by their sides and angles. In the applet, you can drag any of the vertices of the triangle, and the applet tells you whether your triangle is acute, obtuse, or right, or equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. www.cut-the-knot.org/triangle/Triangles.shtml
