By looking at the direction of the parallel streets of New York and figuring which days the setting sun is directly visible along those lines, your class can calculate the degree and angle of the sun. A really nice lesson, giving a...

Students build polygons on their geoboards. In this geometry lesson plan, students build and then draw it on paper and label it. Students then switch with a partner to try an make a symmetrical shape.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Tenth graders construct a variety of geometric shapes and designs using a Mira, Clinometer and Geometry Flash Cards. They complete a worksheet.

How do you prepare class members for the analytical thinking they will need in the real world? An assessment requires the higher order thinking they need to be successful. The module focuses on the concept of rigid transformations...

Looking for a different approach to triangle congruence criteria? Employ transformations to determine congruent triangles. Learners list the transformations required to map one triangle to the next. They learn to identify congruence...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Although there isn't anything for kids to complete in this shapes handout, they can use it as a guide for drawing shapes and recognizing their attributes. There are eight shapes described here: circle, oval, triangle, rectangle,...

Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry activity, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.      

In this motions in geometry worksheet, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page worksheet contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

In this geometry review game worksheet, learners use the provided game cards and calling cards to play a Bingo-like game. Students learn geometric terms while playing a group game.

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. In this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference between...

Sixth graders engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and connecting to represent and solve problems, using geometric models.

Students identify and use the similarity theorem. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

Learners find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Students identify properties of trapezoids. In this geometry lesson, students are put into groups and use computer programs to analyze polygons. They drag and move the shapes around as they make predictions.

Students construct midsegments. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply properties of triangles to solve problems. They complete an activity on the computer.

Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.

In this shapes definitions worksheet, students match a set of descriptions with their correct shape names, 10 total, then answer a set of 4 additional questions. Answers included on page 2.
