Students explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture instructional activity, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students...

Learners examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Students listen to the teacher introduce VSEPR theory and explain molecular geometry. They use balloons to visualize the shape of orbitals. Students create visuals of molecular orbitals with strings and balloons.

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

High schoolers explore quadrilaterals in this geometry lesson. They will draw a quadrilateral, measure the angles, and find the sum of the measures of the interior angles using Cabri Jr. The interactive capabilities of Cabri Jr. allow...

Pupils practice a variety of strategies with varying numbers of tiles to form shapes and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each one. Each group is assigned a different area to build either with square tiles or a geoboard....

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry lesson. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the triangle. The...

In this geometry worksheet, students, calculate the volume given the sides of the shapes. There are 6 questions dealing with volumes.

Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...

Young scholars create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem lesson, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel to find 2 lbs....

Students solve problems by finding the perimeter and area of an enclosed area. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between the area and the perimeter. They see how they relate and how to use it to maximize an...

Teach your pupils to calculate the area of different polygons. Learners create formulas to solve their problems. They use the TI navigator to graph their shapes and observe the change in area.

Perform reflections and transformations by having your students create glide reflections from translated shapes. They use the TiNavigator to explore transformations.

Students use web applet to create congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar. They create shapes online and drag those shapes around to create visuals of triangles.
