NOT A LESSON Students

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Students find circles in a classroom. In this circles lesson plan, students find five circles throughout the classroom and learn about basic geometric shapes.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Seventh graders develop strategies for finding the perimeter and area of large geometric figures. Through lecture and guided practice, 7th graders practice the strategy of dividing a geometric shape into smaller more manageable shapes...

In this 3D figure learning exercise, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Third graders construct and use vocabulary flipbooks to draw and describe three-dimensional figures. They utilize worksheets and access websites imbedded in this plan which help them construct their books.

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

In this math worksheet, students find the area of all the different types of geometric shapes from the memory. They write all the formulas and explain the meanings of the variables.

Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Students find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

For this flow chart worksheet, students learn to use flow charts for classification of numbers, geometric shapes and animals. Students follow the directions and fill out flow charts to work out 20 answers. This is an online activity that...

In this mixed math review worksheet, 5th graders solve a fraction problem, find the difference between decimals, and determine a true statement about a geometric shape. They choose the answer to multiple choice questions.

In this math worksheet, students match the drawings that are in pieces in order to create three dimensional geometric figures. They match the nets with the shapes.

Students work with a set of objects to set up both quantitative and qualitative classification systems. As a group, students follow an example to design and complete two classification systems using a set of objects provided. ...

In this geometry worksheet, students identify the different shapes created by nets. They also identify the intersection of lines and planes. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

In this line and angles activity, students explore basic geometry vocabulary.  They classify polygons.  Students determine the area and perimeter of given shapes.  They examine the parts of a circle, find volume and...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.
