Analyzing Body Angles
Learners investigate angles of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between angles and the number of sides in a polygon. They differentiate between sumilarity anf congruence in angles and...
Curated OER
Studying Special Segments in Triangles
Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.
Curated OER
Identifying Lines of Symmetry
Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.
Curated OER
Mathematics in Robotics
Students build and create using math. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.
Curated OER
Triangle Exercises
In this math worksheet, students determine the name for each triangle according to its classification. Then they create a truss construction model.

Understanding Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
Students are introduced to the basic trigonometric identities. Using a diagram, they discover why the parts of the unit circle as named as they are and use equations to finalize the Pythagorean trigonometric identities. They also review...
Curated OER
Congruent Boxes
Young scholars decorate the congruent faces and edges of boxes in exactly the same way. They teach the terms "congruent," "faces," and "edges" to their parents.
Curated OER
Picket Fence Around the Garden
Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.
Curated OER
Symmetry with Manipulatives
First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes. In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at. Students utilize...
Curated OER
Relationships and Functions
Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson plan, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.
