Math, Music and Architecture: Kindergarten Geometry and Aesthetics in Music and Architecture
Students identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math lesson, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.
Curated OER
Tiling the Plane
Students use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Geometry Journal: Classifying Solids
In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes. The two page worksheet contains nine questions. Answers are included.
Curated OER
Angles Lesson Plan
Students explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between acute, obtuse, right, alternate interior, exterior and adjacent angles. They manipulate a math...
Curated OER
Conjectures of Intersecting Circles
Students make conjectures of intersecting circles. In this geometry lesson, students observe circles and their position in space. They investigate and observe two and three dimensional objects.
Curated OER
Net of a figure
In this 3D figure worksheet, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.
Curated OER
Cube Net
In this geometry and art worksheet, 3rd graders trace and cut out a cubic net to fold and glue together to learn about the dynamics of three-dimensional figures and shapes.
Curated OER
Shapely Figures
Students are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each of...
