Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Learners explore circles through the use of octagons. They inscribe a circle in a regular octagon and find the area and perimeter of the hexagon with respect to the radius of the circle. Students present their findings to the class.

Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Second graders explore various geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders identify geometric shapes using colors and math problems.

Students study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students discover different geometric shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, and octagon. Students incorporate the use of technology by taking pictures of shapes around their school using a digital camera.

Students identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Students duplicate the method that Archimedes used to estimate the value of pi. They complete a data table and find the approximate values of pi for three sets of polygons.

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...

Students identify the interior and exterior measures of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the formula for interior angles of polygons. They differentiate between triangular and polygons angles.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. For this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.
