There are architectural parabolas all around us! A creative lesson analyzes the architecture of a parabolic bridge. Learners must manipulate the bridge to satisfy given criteria and then answer questions about the dimensions of the...

Students explore the architecture of New England by identifying geometric shapes.  In this architectural lesson, students examine photographs of classic building architecture and use a transparency to trace geometric shapes they...

A trip around the world sounds nice, but for now we'll just have to make do with Google Earth. Pupils use pictures of landmarks to apply geometry concepts. They determine whether each building has bilateral or rotational symmetry, search...

Students differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Young scholars calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. For this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Tenth graders calculate the area and the volumes of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders review the formulas used to solve for the area and volume and explain to the class how they arrived at their answer. They search...

Young scholars explore geometry by completing a marshmallow activity in class. In this architecture lesson, students identify the jobs of civil engineers and architects while identifying different geometric shapes as well. Young scholars...

Students find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Learners cuminate their study of molecular structure and bonding with this activity.

Students investigate the architecture in their hometown by visiting buildings.  In this geometry lesson, students examine buildings through photographs and explain the different geometric shapes found in the architecture....

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students explore geometry by utilizing computer software. In this shape identification lesson, students define several geometric shapes by the characteristics that classify them. Students draw and cut out geometric shapes using their...

Learners solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Here is a set of lessons that explore conics in a number of different ways. Starting with modeling how a conic is produced by the way a plane cuts the cone, to solving complex word problems, algebra learners progress through a series of...

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Pupils discuss accuracy and the need for it in blueprints in order to create the final project. They further refine and perfect drawings as part of the school drawing project. Students create a blueprint for the new school building...

Learners determine the ratio of pairs of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci Sequence. Using four different colors, they create a golden rectangle in either two or three dimensions. They use photographs to create two collages using...

Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.
