Second graders use empty pizza boxes and pattern blocks to create a Save and Rave Box, which is a 3-D portfolio.

In this lengths, areas and shapes worksheet, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

Students explore polygons. In this geometry skills lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to solve geometry problems that involve polygons as they piece together geometric shapes. Students analyze the shapes they...

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Students view examples of 3-D art. The teacher demonstrates folding paper in half, cutting out shapes, and gluing 3-D figures onto the diorama. Students create their own diorama. Student dioramas are displayed for review and critique.

Students participate in a game with different types of polygons. They use triangles to create as many polygons as possible. They also review their colors by having different polygons be a different color.

Young scholars investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

High schoolers create a new playground design to present to elementary students during Playground safety week. They review basic geometry to use in observing and recording the equipment on a local playground. They research playground...

Students engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with the concept of quadrilaterals and how they are used to create a rectangle for a door. They create a drawing of a quadrilateral while finding the sum of the angles. They practice...

Students practice measuring the interior angles of given regular polygons and create a formula for finding the measure of th interior angles of any polygon. They determine the relationships between the number of vertices's or sides in a...

Students calculate the perimeter and area of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students apply formulas of perimeter to solve geometric problems. They calculate the area of a dog fence and create ways to keep the dog in that area.

Students research the history of the quilt in American History and view a PowerPoint Presentation. They create a quilt square with colored paper using polygons, transformations, rotations, and reflections on the computer and on a...

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

In this math worksheet, students write down the equation of a plane. Then they create the equation of a line. They also define the lines that are perpendicular.

Students explain how sand dunes are formed, the different circumstances that effect the movement of or formation of sand dunes, and relate the information gathered to soil conservation. In this sand dunes instructional activity, students...

Students investigate the habits of animals by studying their prints.  In this animal life lesson, students investigate the different types of tracks left from animals by researching the Internet.  Students utilize clay or...

Third graders are given square tiles and participate in a demonstration on how to arrange them. Using the tiles, they work with a partner to discover how many two-dimensional tetrominoes they can create. To end the lesson, they must...

In this 3-D folding objects activity, students cut out the model to fold and create a triangular pyramid. No instructions are included.

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

Inspire first grade artists to learn about abstract and realistic art while reading Eric Carle's Where are you Going? To See My Friend. Young artists design and make a mural collage by tearing shapes of paper while comparing English and...

Not all structures take the shape of a polygon. The 21st lesson in a series of 29 shows young mathematicians they can create polygons out of composite shapes. Once they deconstruct the structures, they find the area of the composite figure.

Investigate adjectives with writers. They define adjectives and create their own sentences describing objects found at home using adjectives correctly. Focus on the five senses and sensory details.

Individuals discover how to draw cubes on triangle-dot paper. They use cubes to build structures and draw corresponding isometric drawings on dot paper in the second lesson of the series of five. The activity also introduces the concept...
