Third graders discover elements in visual art. In this visual art lesson, 3rd graders explore the use of line, shape, and color in visual art. After reviewing works of art, students create unique art pieces. Technology resources provided.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

The task, should your class decide to take it, is to list a series of reflections that transfer a line segment from one position to another. 

Young scholars experiment with rearranging shapes to better visualize the Congruence and relationship of geometric shapes.

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

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...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

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...

Learners investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Identify and make conjecture about properties of cyclic quadrilaterals. Learners use the TI Navigator to create different shapes and draw conclusions.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

For this geometry worksheet, students calculate the area of a given shape. They use the formulas for squares and circles to help them find the area. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Tenth graders calculate the area and the volumes of polygons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders review the formulas used to solve for the area and volume and explain to the class how they arrived at their answer. They search online...

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

Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry and...

Students make spinners to investigate rotational inertia, rotational speed, angular momentum, and velocity. They make two sets of spinners that have different mass distributions and shapes. They complete a worksheet while experimenting...

Sixth graders identify benchmark angles as they are embedded into a circle grid. They observe the teacher using an angle ruler and complete a Star Spangled worksheet, play the game Tomb Robbers, and as a class discuss their game winning...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson plan. 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...

In this math worksheet, students review concepts in algebra and geometry in preparation for the State Exam. They review slopes and functions, area and perimeter. There are 27 questions.
