Orthographic Drawing
Young scholars investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
Learners 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. Learners use pegboards and string to create more...
Curated OER
Orthographic Drawings
Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry activity, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.
Curated OER
Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Young scholars use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings
Curated OER
Pyramids on Parade/Nets
Young scholars sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.
Curated OER
Measuring the Earth
Young scholars identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.
Curated OER
A Cylinder and Its Net
Students sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Camping with a Triangular Prism and Its Net
Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.
Curated OER
Using Concept Maps to Design 3D Spheres
Young scholars create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Pape's Theorems
In this math worksheet, students find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.
Curated OER
Measurements
Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.
Curated OER
Cones, Cylinders, Spheres
Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry activity, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.
Curated OER
Box Folding: Predict, Analyze and Measure
Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson.
Curated OER
Pyramids- Slant Height and Altitude
Students calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.
