Don't be obtuse, this geometry unit is the just the right resource for educating the acute young minds in your class. From classifying and measuring angles, to determining the congruence of shapes, this...

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

Use this volume of solids instructional activity to have learners find the surface area and volume of cylinders, pyramids, and prisms. They place cubes inside three-dimensional figures to determine the volume. Worksheets and answers are...

Young mathematicians explore the world of three-sided shapes in this lesson on the different types of triangles. Starting with a general introduction to classification using Venn diagrams, children learn how to categorize triangles...

While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

Scholars can use area formulas, but can they apply what they know about area? The lesson challenges learners to think logically while practicing finding area of shapes such as rectangles, circles, parallelograms, triangles, and other...

Does it matter how many points to dilate? The resource presents problems of dilating curved figures. Class members find out that not only do they need to dilate several points but the points need to be distributed about the entire curve...

In this geometry instructional activity, students solve a total of 8 word problems. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this math worksheet, students study the properties of plane shapes and solid figures. Students fill out a chart after they have calculated the number of flat surfaces, edges and vertices.

In this naming shapes worksheet, students write the name of given shapes, then write why they named shapes as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify a set of 12 shapes, writing the name of each shape on a line beneath it. An answer link appears at the bottom of the page.

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry lesson plan, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has...

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes instructional activity, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher...

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon lesson, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Students use interactive geoboards to identify simple geometric shapes. In this making triangles lesson, students describe the properties associated with geometric shapes. Students develop spatial sense and the mathematical meaning...

Third graders are introduced to the meanings of the concepts slides, turns, and flips in how they relate to Geometry. As a class, they use their bodies to demonstrate how each term should look like. To end the lesson, they apply the...

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes lesson plan, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...
