Know Your Polygons!
Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...
Curated OER
Stained Glass Polygons
Students follow directions to make a stained glass window design of regular and irregular polygons with specific geometric elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students also analyze other classmate's designs.
Curated OER
Identifying Triangles
Sixth graders identify and define a variety of triangles. In this identification of triangles lesson plan, 6th graders draw examples of each triangle on a whiteboard, then complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
ABC's Transformer
Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.
Curated OER
"Geotown" Scrapbook
Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.
Curated OER
Problem Solving Using Power Polygons
Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...
Curated OER
Relationships in Geometry
Learners show the correlation between quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.
Curated OER
Polygons and Sketching
In this geometry worksheet, students define and draw quadrilaterals. They differentiate between the different shapes. There are 3 questions with an answer key.
Curated OER
Geometry Assessment-"Chapter 2"
In this geometry activity, students match terms with definitions, and complete short answer questions about polygons and congruency.
Curated OER
Triangle Side Lengths and Angles Measures
Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.
Curated OER
Polygons
Fourth graders identify and describe lines, shapes, and solids using formal geometric language. They use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer and outline of polygons.
Read Theory
Analogies 1 (Level 7)
Analogies are a great tool for teaching word relationships. For this activity, learners complete 10 analogies using the bridge sentences provided to help them make the correct connections.
Curated OER
Shapes Are Everywhere
Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...
Curated OER
Circles and Angles
Students identify tangents, chords and secants. In this geometry activity, students graph circles and identify angles created by secant lines, tangent lines and chords.
Curated OER
Number Prefixes
Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.
Curated OER
Angles and Arcs
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.
Curated OER
Creature Design
Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.
Curated OER
