It took me a year and a half to complete my geometry curriculum, but I finally did it. I’m constantly updating and adding to it. I guess you could call it a living and growing curriculum. I’m using the curriculum myself, so I find things I want to update or make better all the time. I also take suggestions from teachers that are using the curriculum. Recently, I had a request to make all the quizzes and tests editable. With the changing times, it’s important to have multiple tests that cover the same topic so that you can limit cheating, differentiate or give make-up tests or re-tests. All tests and quizzes in the curriculum are indeed EDITABLE now!
(By the way, don’t forget to look for a special right triangle freebie at the bottom of this post!)
On the main page of my Geometry Curriculum on TpT, you will see every resource in the curriculum. I also sell each one of these resources separately in my store. A third way that I have the curriculum broken down is by units which I also sell in my store. Here is the first unit in the curriculum:
Why did I feel the need to write this curriculum? Many of my students come to me after taking Geometry over the summer. In my district, students have the opportunity to get ahead in math. If the student does not pass Geometry during the summer, they end up using the exact same curriculum again. They get to keep their book from the summer with all of the work already done. It doesn’t make sense. Also, it was very easy for students to find the answers on the internet for the book we used. It was time to figure out something and stay ahead of them.
I really like a hands-on curriculum. I use patty paper, compasses, protractors, tape and scissors on a regular basis. I also like to give Google Form tests as well as activities on Google Slides and Boom Cards. The resource cover above shows one of my favorite conditional statement activities. As you can see, we do lots of cutting and pasting.
Many of the activities are discovery lessons. I make sure there is plenty of algebra involved to keep these skills alive for the next math class. If you have any specific questions about this Geometry Curriculum, please leave a comment below, or ask a question in my TpT store.

To read more about the units, I’m slowly but surely writing posts about them so teachers have a better understanding of what they contain.
Unit 1 – Diving Into the First Unit of Geometry Headfirst
Unit 2 – Two-Column Proofs and Reasoning
Unit 3 – Parallel Lines, Transversals, Perpendicular Lines
Unit 4 – Transformations
Unit 6 – Quadrilateral Unit
My final unit in the curriculum has been uploaded. It is a unit on probability which is part of the curriculum in Texas.
I’ve also recently made all of the tests and quizzes editable. If you purchase the curriculum, you will find them in each lesson. If you’d rather purchase this resources separately, click here: Editable Geometry Assessments.
You can find me on Instagram @time_flies_math . I like to show student work in action on my Instagram posts. Check it out if you have time. It will help you get a feel for some of the lessons. To see the curriculum in my TpT store, click the picture below.
As you were looking at the curriculum, you might have noticed that it contains Boom Cards. If you do not want Boom Cards, then click the pic below to get the version without them.
