In this angle activity, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets.  These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.

In this congruency activity, students find congruency in everyday packaging on everyday items and answer questions about them. Students answer 4 questions.

Pupils, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in real...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

In this solid shapes instructional activity, students read descriptions of solid shapes, then label a set of pictures with either box, cylinder, pyramid or cone. 

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes lesson, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.

Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.

Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

Students investigate concepts of working with fractions. They compare different fractions and put them in chronological order. The quantities are compared as either being larger or smaller also.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of computing the area using different shapes. They use prior knowledge in order to devise a formula for a parallelogram. Scaffolding is provided by the teacher to find the formula of area for...

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...

Learners explore about triangles and their relationship to the worlld around them. They are able to identify triangular shapes in their environment. Students are able to communicate to one another their understanding of triangles outside...

In this perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of 8 geometric shapes. There are instructions and samples on the page.

Seventh graders explore the concept of rectangular and triangular prisms. In this rectangular and triangular prism lesson, 7th graders identify various prisms as triangular or rectangular. Students discuss the various shapes of bases...

In this grade 3 math worksheet, students complete a total of 10 questions that use a variety of grade 3 concepts. Page is part of a site with links. 

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume lesson, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Fifth graders find the area of rice farms. In this area lesson, 5th graders draw shapes and grid them to find the area. They compare different rice fields to see which one takes up more space and has the larger area. 

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Students complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.

Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...
