Pupils explore the methods of creating maps. They create a map of Animas River Park using a compass and measuring tape, develop a single map from the team map sections, and devise another map of the Animas River Park using a GPS unit.

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students, working in pairs, are presented with the problem. They are asked to design modular houses using four cubic modules, all the same size, which touch each other on complete faces. They must draw each of their houses on isometric...

Sixth graders determine the number of triangles in the Star of David.

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

This 455-page guide outlines and illustrates effective strategies for teaching geometry and related spatial concepts to children in kindergarten through grade 3.
