Students will calculate the diameter, circumference, and ratio of a real world object. Students will create an electronic slideshow to illustrate the process of determining the diameter, circumference, and ratio of these objects.

In this two-day lesson plan, students will collaborate to create a healthy pizza using only geometric items that have been precisely measured. Students must identify the items as triangle, quadrilateral (parallelogram), or cube. Next,...

This instructional activity will not only help students compare and contrast the concepts of area and perimeter, but it will also move toward the concept that area is maximized while minimizing perimeter with a square.

Students will utilize new found knowledge of architectural design and engineering to apply math and science skills in building a structure. By using interactive websites, they will create scale drawing plans and design and engineer a...

The introduction of this lesson has students verifying the famous Pythagorean Theorem with a hands-on proof. Students will then apply the Theorem in one of two ways: by solving for the side lengths of a right triangle and by determining...

Students will begin unit on quadrilaterals with basic overview of characteristics of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and isosceles and non-isosceles trapezoids. After the word wall is made, the teacher can use interactive...

This inquiry lesson explores the definitions of quadrilaterals and the properties of the diagonals of quadrilaterals to classify quadrilaterals. Students will work cooperatively to justify conclusions. This lesson plan was created by...

This lesson allows students to discover the number Pi. By measuring real life objects, students will get to see where the number Pi comes from as well as how the circumference formula is derived.This lesson plan was created as a result...

The purpose of this lesson plan is to help students apply math concepts concerning similar triangles and trigonometric functions to real life situations. The students learn how to take these concepts and use them to find measurements of...

Students understand what a closed shape is and identify different shapes in the environment by name.

Sixth graders take their knowledge about area of rectangles, squares and triangles and apply it to parallelograms, trapezoids, and composite shapes.

Second graders will be able to identify 2-dimensional shapes and tell the number of vertices and sides.

Explains the basic concept of the area of geometric shapes with step-by-step instructions and methods for solving specific problems on your own relating to this topic.

Solve problems concerning real-world situations using your knowledge of volume, surface area, and density.

Explore some problems you can solve with your knowledge of triangles and trigonometry.

Brush up on your math skills relating to regular polygons then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

On this interactive site, students learn to identify squares, circles, and triangles.

Are you up for some farm chores? Help James count the sheep and identify geometric shapes.

Students will idenitfy and group shapes based on their attributes.

Students will explore symmetry through a variety of learning games.

Students will complete a series of learning games to explore two-dimensional shapes, such as naming them and completing the shape.

In this lesson on 2D shapes, 3rd graders will learn to discriminate quadrilaterals from other polygons. Additionally, they will be able to identify attributes of a square, rectangle, and rhombus.

Students will play learning games to explore parallel lines and two-dimensional shapes.

In this instructional activity on finding the perimeter of rectangles, 3rd graders learn key vocabulary, explore grid paper, and apply their learning to a real-world situation.
