Students investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from...

Second graders organize solids into categories, depending upon whether they will roll, slide or do both on a home made ramp. Students describe and compare attributes of three-dimensional geometric solids.

In this geometry learning exercise, students analyze different polygons and relate it to a circuit board. They find the odd degree Euler circuit and identify the vertices of the odd degree. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

Fifth graders complete activities to investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. In this plane geometry lesson plan, 5th graders watch a movie about parallel and perpendicular lines. Students work in pairs to describe and draw the...

Students calculate the perimeter and area of polygons. In 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 examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Ninth graders access a star worksheet and determine properties of polygons.  In this investigative lesson plan students complete a worksheet and discuss myths. 

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

In this midpoints instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems. First, they find the perimeter of each illustrated triangle. Then, students determine the bases and median of a trapezoid. They also prove...

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students analyze similar shapes and find the missing length using a proportion. There are no examples.

Students create Post-It note fundamental regions to tesselate. They make tesselations using computer software or websites. They create a jacket design with tesselation and determine the cost of production.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson plan. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Learners show the correlation between quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.

Students explore the Elements of Art. In this art lesson, students read the book Katie Meets the Impressionists and brainstorm the different things that artists create. Students observe various elements of art such as line and color and...

Students complete a table of values and plot points, as well as construct a graph on a coordinate grid. They construct two graphs on the same coordinate system, and identify the point of intersection. Students represent and record...

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

For this net worksheet, students use the pattern to create a triangular prism. Students cut out the pattern and fold on the dotted lines and paste it to make the solid figure.

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

This is a lengthy overview PowerPoint that defines, explains, shows examples, and has practice problems about points, lines and planes.  The class will need to write many notes and there is an example of how to set up in the Cornell...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

Introduce translations as transformations that move figures in horizontal and vertical distances with a video that shows how to translate the figures. A second video covers how to determine the translation that has occurred. Pupils...

Your learners will practice many ways of describing data using coordinate algebra in this unit written to address many Common Core State Standards. Simple examples of different ways to organize data are shared and then practice problems...
