Delving into a proof that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, this lecture evaluates the angles and sides of this figure. It would serve as a great test preparation activity.

This collaborative activity investigates the meaning of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. It begins by presenting two different definitions of a trapezoid. Learners are to reason abstractly the difference between the two definitions and...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

A really useful resource contains 116 slides covering basic geometric concepts related to 2-D or plane shapes. Shape properties, translations, reflections, congruence, symmetry, and grid work are all laid out in a comprehensive and...

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then learners look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

In this solids worksheet, students identify the characteristics of solids. They name solids and determine the number of faces. This three-page worksheet contains seventeen problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this worksheet walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase...

Ty Burrell and Abby identify the characteristics of a hexagon. They discuss sides and angles. Through trial and error Abby finally identifies a hexagon.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Yes, it will be on the test. Young mathematicians first view an educational video to refresh their memories about material from the unit. They then complete a review worksheet where they find the measures of interior angles of polygons,...

One's knowledge of angles should measure up to expectations. Scholars watch a video to learn about angles in polygons. They first see how to partition a polygon into triangles to find the sum of the interior angle measures. They then...
