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.

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...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders identify the missing angles using the polygons sum conjecture. They measure exterior and interior angles using their angle theorems. There are 63 problems.

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

For this angles in polygons worksheet, students determine the value of a missing angle measure. They find the value of interior angles and exterior angles. Polygons include triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. This...

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...

Fourth graders participate in a activity that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The activity also uses geometry and relates...

Learners identify and use the similarity theorem. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

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...

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

In this triangle worksheet, learners identify angles as either obtuse, right, straight or acute. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

For this geometry skills worksheet, students examine a graph and respond to 5 questions that require them to identify the coordinate pairs of object on the grid.

In this lower elementary geometry worksheet, students make a shape book. They receive a book with the outline of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle with the word that names the shape. They cut out images of the four shapes and...

In this angles of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the first half of...

Students participate in a game with different types of polygons. They use triangles to create as many polygons as possible. They also review their colors by having different polygons be a different color.

Young scholars investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find the length or area of seventeen figures.  The figures examined are triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, and hexagons.  Some examples and solutions are...

Young scholars explore tessellations. They are shown a selection of shapes. Students identify shapes that tessellate and justify their answer. Young scholars create their own tessellation.

Students observe a selection of shapes. They identify which shapes will tessellate and justify their answer. Students apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons to create tessellations.

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.
