Students choose a square of any size and use yarn to show that all 4 sides are the same. They sort the traffic sign cards into groups of squares and non-squares. Also they make a square using Q-tips; tell how you know it is a square.

In this geometry and religion learning exercise, students examine a black line picture of an Islamic pattern before identifying the shapes in the pattern. They color the pattern by following the directions given at the bottom of the page.

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

Define and review math vocabulary. Use the CEENBoT to draw pictures that represent each vocabulary word. Pupils work in groups to play math pictionary.

Students explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Students construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math Keys:...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of cookie dough and...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This instructional activity gives students a meaningful way to...

Young scholars investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used...

Students explore one to one number correspondence. In this early math lesson, students make observations about and classify plants in order to gain an understanding of using numbers to describe their world.

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...

Fourth graders examine mirror symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, 4th graders discover that symmetry is not always vertical or horizontal. Students cut and fold shapes along lines of symmetry.

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of angles and lines to prove triagle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two...

Second graders demonstrate understanding of symmetry and identify objects that have symmetry. They use a mirror to get a visual illustration of what symmetry is. They create a collage of symmetrical pictures they find in magazines.

Students transform polygons.  For this tessellating lesson, students design a picture containing a translation and a rotation.  They create a template of a translation or a rotation.  Students tessellate and decorate a...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson. Elementary students work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...

Students investigate technology and its purpose in the workplace. In this geometry lesson, students design and build a paper towel structure to investigate motion and forces. They are given a restricted weight and asked to build their...

In this circles worksheet, learners fill in 6 fill in the blank statements about circles and solve calculate the answers to 13 questions involving different measurements of circles.

Students explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry activity, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Students reproduce lines of...

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  For this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Second graders develop an awareness of the power of their minds to work with visual images. All the activities in this unit help strengthen visualization that is an important tool or process in Geometry.

Students explore the concept of polygon properties. In this polygon properties lesson, students draw polygons with different numbers of sides such as pentagons, octagons, hexagons, etc. Students identify different geometric shapes in the...
