Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of polygons and focuses upon finding the area. They use formulas provided in the lesson in order to solve problems given by the teacher for independent practice. Geometric figures are...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Strive to think outside of the quadrilateral parallelogram. Worksheet includes two problems applying prior knowledge of area and perimeter to parallelograms and trapezoids. The focus is on finding and utilizing the proper formula and...

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Students choose a square of any size and use yarn to show that all 4 sides are the same. They sort the traffic sign cards into groups of squares and non-squares. Also they make a square using Q-tips; tell how you know it is a square.

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders answer questions about right triangles by identifying the 3 sides of the triangle. They analyze the different shapes of polygons and relate them to right triangles to find the sides using...

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.

Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The lesson plan has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative activities...

Fifth graders explore the use of trigonometry to find unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles, taking the concepts that were developed in the previous unit and looking at different ways of practicing the new skills. Students...

Third graders engage in a instructional activity that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while...

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Fifth graders use tan to solve problems involving right-angled triangles. They solve equations of the form tan(8) =a, for a between 180 degrees and 360 degrees. They state the value of tan (8) in special cases.

In this math worksheet, students examine 4 pictures of 3D objects and write the name of each. Students then study 3 pictures and figure the number of faces, edges and vertices on each.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson plan and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

For this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.

Students solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.

Students solve problems using mathematical skills. In this math lesson, the students use math concepts, to design a virtual path for a ladybug. The students will reinforce their skills in algebra and geometry concepts.

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson plan, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

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...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

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