Fourth graders, using a straight edge, determine whether a point is inside or outside of a given figure. With worksheets, 4th graders practice analyzing geometric relationships such as parallel to, perpendicular to, etc.

Students sort a variety of manipulatives and use a software program that provides more sorting practice.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Fifth graders design their own house, while also using problem-solving skills involving perimeter and area. They exchange houses with a partner and find the perimeter and area of the window, doors, and front side of the house.

Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.

Students describe, identify and compare two-dimensional figures. They also name and demonstrate the relative position of objects using directional words. They sort and compare two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects...

Students use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

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

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...

Learners identify the five main crops of Kansas and crops that are produced in other states. The categorize the types of fruits and seeds of each plant and measure each to compare the length of each.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

In this rounding money instructional activity, students identify the money amounts in each examples and round to the nearest dollar for the 10 examples.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Fourth graders use drawing and paint tools to identify, draw and state several geometric terms.

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

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...

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

Sixth graders identify and draw two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object. Students investigate the views of an object and determine that three views are required (front, one side and the top). Students use these...
