Second graders experiment with slides, flips and turns to understand motion geometry.  In this motion geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders navigate interactive motion geometry sites. Students  illustrate the results of...

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to...

Learners make a quilt. In this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Learners explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their own...

New-to-school learners create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares. They use various geometric shapes that when assembled will form a scarecrow, pumpkin, and a crow. Assembly will require sorting...

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. For this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

Young scholars find real-world examples of a variety of geometric shapes. They conduct research, record observations, and write descriptions. They create a classroom cityscape and highlight the information they gathered. They present an...

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram pieces.

If members of your class wonder where they can use the math they learn in middle school, let them discover the answer. Learners apply geometry concepts of scale and measure to calculate the costs of framing a house addition.

Young scholars examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels...

Students create factor trees.  In this prime and composite lesson, students model fractions using tiles.  They create factor trees and identify prime and composite numbers.  Students use grid paper and tiles to model...

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

Students explore geometry in Navajo culture. In this geometry instructional activity, students search for different geometrical shapes in Navajo art. Students then create their own rug or jewelry design using geometrical shapes.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. For this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Students investigate the relationship of triangles with its sides and angles. In this geometry lesson, students create visual on the graphing navigator as they study triangles. They move the sides around to create different angle-side...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson plan gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Young scholars explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Young scholars create and share an original...

Students explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. For this pattern identification lesson, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Students utilize inference skills...

Students identify and manipulate shapes to create tessellations. In these geometry/spatial relations lessons, the students use of a variety of modalities such as literature, music, writing, and art as introductions to the concept of...

Elementary schoolers examine the attributes of triangles. In this triangle lesson, learners compare regular triangles and right triangles. They explore vertices and angles and investigate obtuse and acute angles. Pupils draw multiple...

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.
