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.

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

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.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...
