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.

In this area worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include the measurement of various figures. First, they determine the area of each of the triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. Then, students determine...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

How do computers store and send images? Here's an activity that explains one way a computer can compress image information. Pupils decode run-length coding to produce a black and white image. Pairs then work together to code and...

Students examine the process of drawing a picture to scale. They analyze and discuss real-life blueprints for a house, and create a scale drawing of an original invention using calculators and rulers.

Students explore the relationships between similar figures. In this relationships between similar figures lesson, students discuss relationships between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures through...

Students explore geometry in Navajo rugs. In this shape art lesson plan, students create a Navajo rug design using triangles and squares. Students investigate designs on the Internet and then create an original design.

In this triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the measurement of various angles. First, they determine the area of a triangle illustrated on the sheet. Then, students use the picture to...

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Fifth graders arrange the classroom using all the moveable objects and through the exploration of area and perimeter. They determine the area of the classroom, create and label model pieces of furniture using graph paper, and create a...

Students find math concepts in every day items. In this math concept lesson, students take ten photographs of things they find interesting. They analyze the photographs to find hidden math concepts such as counting, lines, angles,...

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid paper,...

Students identify the properties representing quadrilateral. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between special and regular quadrilaterals. They discuss and demonstrate hierarchy of quadrilaterals.

Evaluate different aspects of geometry with one task. An assessment activity prompts learners to determine the area of a pathway in the shape of a parallelogram. The Pythagorean Theorem and area formulas for various polygons provide the...

Students explore geometric shapes. For this math lesson, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

Third graders use the computer to draw and compare the attributes of two and three dimensional shapes.

Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

Fifth graders explore polygons. For this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface area,

In this perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of 8 geometric shapes. There are instructions and samples on the page.

Students identify the interior and exterior measures of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula for interior angles of polygons. They differentiate between triangular and polygons angles.

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.
