Young scholars 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. Young...

Students calculate the surface area of cubes, solids and cylinders. In this geometry lesson plan, students define the surface area formulas for different prisms. They calculate the surface area with 100%, and 80% accuracy.

Students calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.

Don't let your classes get stuck on area calculations—grab their attention with an inquiry-based lesson! Scholars must develop a plan to determine how may sticky notes it takes to cover the surface of a door. They decide on the...

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. For this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

What does popcorn have to do with math?  Seventh grade mathematicians are provided an opportunity to develop a conceptual understanding of the formula for volume and to use it as a tool to solve problems. The instructional activity...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Pupils investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students define angles and sides of right triangles. They calculate the area and surface area using formulas derived by the Pythagorean Theorem.

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...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Learners view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Learners use pegboards and string to create more...
