Measuring the height of a building with a stick
Inaccessible heights can be easily „measured“ by using a stick that is hold rectagular to the ground. The theorem of inter-secting lines can help for calculating the height.
Have a look at the task

Students can try it out hands-on. With three pointsthe equation of a quadratic function can be calculated. Does the graph of the calculated function fit to all points/parts of the hanging chain? Have a look at the task
Is this a parabola?

With Geoboards students of grade 5 can discover area, perimeter, reflections, rotations and the geometric concepts behind it.
Tasks and report from work in the classroom are coming soon. Here one website.

Students may use these tangrams, construct und cut it out it on cardboard or foam rubber. The red shapes (as many as needed) can be used to form a heart, e.g. in more than one way (idea from Tatjana Vinokurova). Students like this. Creativity and exact construction if the pieces are needed.

Easy paper folding
It is easy to fold a paper as shown in the short outline instruction. But it is a challenge for older students to proof that it is a parabola!

Right or wrong?
Is the circle line reguarly divided in 12 parts/sections? Justify or falsify it!Hint: isocelis triangles may help for argumentation.
