Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry activity, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.

Students culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale...

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson plan, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of...

Young scholars develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the...

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

First graders use appropriate vocabulary to compare the measurement of the animal he/she is drawing.

Students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. For this geometry lesson, students define the theorems and reasons for polygons similarity and congruence. They are given pictures and patterns to differentiate and identify.

Students listen to the teacher read "A Dreamer's Cloak." They examine the difference between squares and circles and create their own cloak by using a paper bag and different shapes.

Fourth graders explore how to find the area of a rectangular object. As a class, they discuss definition of area and strategies for finding area. The teacher models finding the area of an object by counting squares. Students observe...

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Tenth graders identidy and define various geometry terms, Students create exact replicas of a shape that is either smaller or larger than the original shape. Students prove that their entire shapes are larger or smaller in the same...

Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Fifth graders explore the context of how and when to use tangrams in geometry. They create and draw a number of different geometric figures using tangrams. Students work on their visual spatial skills.

Students investigate transformations.  In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore reflections, translations, rotations and dilations.  The lesson includes examples of transformations in art, architecture, and...

Students explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Students study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students discuss vertical,...

In this geometry worksheet, students color the pictures of objects that are shaped like squares. They choose between 11 pictures of items such as a heart, a window frame, a computer, and a coin.

Students explore the pattern of the unit cell. For this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students then...

Learners view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Students explore and explain geometrical applications, and how to apply these applications to real life.

Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...
