Right triangles from 2,000 years ago? Learners investigate different right triangles found in the earthworks of the Hopewell people, a Native American culture that populated the United States from 200BC to AD 500. Learners apply concepts...

Geometry could be called the study of figures. An overview of the figures found in a typical geometry course contains a study of different triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons. 

After learning that the sum of interior angles for triangles is 108 degrees, take it further to show that the sum of angles in any polygon is the same! Using hexagons, pupils practice finding the measure of the six congruent angles. Make...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

In this polygons learning exercise, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining various interior angles in polygons. First, they determine the number of sides a polygon has with a given measure for each angle. Then,...

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

In this polygon worksheet, students observe pictures of polygons and identify their proper name. They read descriptions of polygons and determine the polygon described. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students investigate properties of circles. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students explore a variety of shapes and angles and create mobiles with information about a selected polygon. Both common and "not-so common" polygons are examined.

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...
