Students design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

Pupils identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students complete activities to learn about the shapes and their vertices. In this shape recognition lesson, students discover the rule linking the number of sides with the number of vertices for shapes. Students categorize...

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Pupils calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. For this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Middle schoolers solve problems using reasoning techniques, identify the validity or non-validity of problems and use deductive reasoning for problem resolution.

Students calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered pairs or...

Learners identify different parts of a prism and polyhedra. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the number of faces, edges and sides of polygons. They solve problems by recognizing patterns.

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. For this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

In this online math worksheet, students complete a 20 problem multiple choice online interactive worksheet with mixed skills including geometry, rounding, and three digit multiplication.

Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...

Young scholars discuss tangram vocabulary, and act out slide, flip, and turn. They observe tangram puzzles on a web page, and solve their own tangram puzzles.

Learners examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle instructional activity, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in...

Students use an electronic data-collection device to model the sound produced by a guitar string. They identify the graph of a periodic situation and use the graph to determine the period and frequency of sound waves.

Students identify the measure of missing exterior angles. In this geometry lesson,students define and apply the exterior angle theorem to solve problems. They use Cabri software to create different angles and make investigations.

In this quilting worksheet, students follow the directions to re-create the official quilt of Alabama, The Pine Burr Quilt. They use geometric shapes and stitching directions to make quilt squares.

Eighth graders find connections between numbers in a table; use Pythagoras' theorem in a general algebraic form; and measure accurately from a scale drawing to find a method that might enable the helicopter to land inside a rectangular...
