Fifth graders explore geometry by creating shapes with construction paper. In this shape characteristics lesson, 5th graders identify the different attributes that make up specific shapes and create them using construction paper, rulers,...

Students relate topology to polygons. In this geometry lesson, students make the connection between different shapes and topologically equivalent relationships. They use Mobius strips to create and move shapes around.

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

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.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

In this geometry worksheet, students learn about 3-D objects and how to describe them. They then answer 10 questions using the information they learned. The answers are on the last page.

In this line and angles worksheet, students explore basic geometry vocabulary.  They classify polygons.  Students determine the area and perimeter of given shapes.  They examine the parts of a circle, find volume and...

Students visit various websites to calculate the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. They explore math problems and play interactive games dealing with geometry.

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

Introduce your math class to the perimeter of a circle. Teach them that pi describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter. As a hands-on investigation, pairs or small groups use string to compare these two values...

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Twelfth graders use Algebra and Geometry to solve a real life problem at the Zoo.

In this composite figures worksheet, high schoolers solve 11 short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons. High schoolers find the area of each figure given a sketch of the figure with various...

In this areas and volumes worksheet, students find the area of truncated cones and elliptical cylinders.  They find the area by using one of three methods:  the disk method, the shell method, and using geometry.  This...

In this geometric figures worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 11 different word problems. First, they find the area of a regular octagon with a given side. Then, students find the area of each shaded region. They also find the...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Students explore secants and circles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They create arguments to prove the theorems are true.

Students creating chords intersection using circles. In this geometry lesson, students create visuals of chords ad their properties using Cabri technology. They measure the chords and explore the relationship among chords.

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.
