Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Young scholars create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

In this tessellations activity, 10th graders complete 8 various types of problems related to a tessellation of the plane by regular polyhedral. First, they draw the vertex figures for each of three regular tessellations and determine...

In this transformations worksheet, learners solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  Learners determine scale factors and lines of symmetry of figures.

When you engage learners in creating symmetrical objects you are also building their vocabulary and math sense. Kids discuss key words such as, asymmetrical, symmetrical, balance, tint, and shade. They use these elements of design to...

Investigate the results of multiple translations on an image. Scholars use vectors to perform a sequence of translations in the seventh lesson plan of 18. They examine the results and determine the importance of using a sequence rather...

Examine the various rigid transformations and recognize sequences of these transformations. The lesson asks learners to perform sequences of rotations, reflections, and translations. Individuals also describe a sequence that results in...

In this spatial relations worksheet, students identify the number of triangles in a given figure, identify the number of cubes that a plane intersects, and determine the number of line segments in a given cube. This three-page worksheet...

Examine the process of rotating images to visualize effects of changes to them. The fifth lesson plan of 18 prompts pupils to rotate different images to various degrees of rotation. It pays special attention to rotations in multiples of...

For this spatial relations worksheet, students solve three-dimensional problems. They find the total number of triangles in a given figure, the number of line segments that endpoints and use integer points to solve two problems. This...

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry activity, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

In this plane geometry worksheet, students combine the basis of plane geometry and linear problems to solve problems. They determine total surface area, the length of a line, and the sum of the edges of a three-dimensional figure. This...

In this geometry activity, students differentiate between perpendicular and parallel planes and lines. They identify segments that are parallel and perpendicular to sides. There are  22 questions.

Fourth graders find the volume of solids. In groups, 4th graders use spinners to determine the dimensions of solids. They construct the shapes, creating a model of the figure Students count the cubes in the model to determine the...

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Learners explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Sixth graders identify benchmark angles as they are embedded into a circle grid. They observe the teacher using an angle ruler and complete a Star Spangled worksheet, play the game Tomb Robbers, and as a class discuss their game winning...

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...
