Third graders discover elements in visual art. In this visual art activity, 3rd graders explore the use of line, shape, and color in visual art. After reviewing works of art, students create unique art pieces. Technology resources provided.

Learners study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry instructional activity, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Learners also visit a lower grade...

Learners build sled kites. in this kite building lesson, students must read directions for kite building and enlarge the proportions of the given kite pattern. Learners focus on the angles and line of symmetry in their kite. 

In this understanding triangles worksheet, students read 6 pages of examples and explanations about identifying triangles, determining length of sides and degrees of angles, including the hypotenuse, then answer 28 questions, answers...

Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

In this pre-calculus instructional activity, students solve for angles formed by a tangent line and a circle. There are 6 different worksheets containing 8-10 problems per sheet.

In this similar figures worksheet, students identify the meaning of similar, corresponding sides, and congruent.  They use proportions to find the length of a missing side.  Students dilate given figures according to a scale...

Students calculate the altitude of triangles.  In the web based lesson, students explore the interior distance from a given point in a polygon to its side.  They compute the sum of these lengths. Students read life...

Young scholars identify the relationship between angles and arcs. In this geometry lesson, students rotate and move the circle around to create different arcs on the TI-Navigator. They differentiate between major and minor arcs.

In this perimeter worksheet, students are given perimeter and draw 3 different squares or rectangles on given grids, using those given measurements, then complete 2 related questions.

Students identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. For this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot...

In this polygon worksheet, students draw various polygons according to given specifications and find angle sums. A website reference for additional resources is given.

Third graders compare and contrast the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Using a tetrominoes game, they create two-dimensional shapes to cover up a game board. At the conclusion of the game, 3rd graders discuss the patterns they...

In this angle worksheet, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets.  These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

In this geometry instructional activity, learners match terms with definitions, and complete short answer questions about polygons and congruency.

Sixth graders identify the x and y axes in a coordinate plane and identifies the coordinates of a given point in the first quadrant. They plot specific points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Students investigate congruent shapes using dot paper to visualize, draw, and duplicate different congruent shapes.

Young scholars follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

Students investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from...
