Students experience an Internet fractal scavenger hunt. They write a report on fractals using the Internet and recording the sites where they are located.

In this stars rise in the east activity, students use geometry to show how the Earth rotates from west to east and why celestial bodies appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Students draw a figure and label given points in...

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Middle schoolers construct a three-dimensional model of a city using both similar and congruent figures and geometric transformations. City must have at least ten buildings with each building labeled and may be constructed out of paper...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry learning exercise, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of...

Young geometers investigate and apply properties of quadrilaterals.  After a review and discussion of key terms, learners use a computer applet to explore four-sided figures and classify them according to their attributes. The...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

Tenth graders investigate geometric construction.  In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders explore the procedure for copying an angle and a segment.  The lesson plan emphasizes the difference between a sketch, a drawing, and...

High schoolers are introduced to the topic of congruence and proportions in Geometry. Using technology, they construct and validate the properties of various geometric figures and identify whether it is congruent or proportion to the...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Puzzling over what geometry instructional activity to teach next? Look no further. This simple activity teaches young mathematicians how shapes can be decomposed into smaller figures, and how smaller figures can be assembled into larger...

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

Students apply what they have learned, from Eight Hands Round a Patchwork Alphabet, about how quilt blocks got their names by constructing and naming a quilt block pattern of their own using pattern blocks and pattern block paper.

For this nets of 3 dimensional figures worksheet, students determine which given figures will make given nets, then name a set of 4 shapes.

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

After completing a task involving examining the ratio of areas of triangles and circles in a given figure, scholars examine sample responses to identify other strategies they could use to solve the problem.
