Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

In this math activity, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This activity has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles congruent.  The lesson combines dry erase board activities and the use of technology.

Students explain how moon phases occur. They describe and explain at least two common misconceptions that people have about the moon. Students explain what a star is. They explain 3 ways that the night sky has been used throughout history.

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume activity, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

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...

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...

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

For this math worksheet, students sketch the finite area whose boundary is composed of pieces of the curves x =1− y 4 and x = y2 − 1.

In 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...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

First graders view congruent shapes on a white board and define what congruent means.  In this congruent shapes lesson, 1st graders recognize which shapes are congruent and which aren't  Students complete a giant worksheet in...

In this crossword worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by solving a variety of clues. For example, "Rome is the capital of this boot-shaped country."

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

These activities will allow students to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

Students read the clues to determine the shape the clues are describing. If they choose the correct shape a smiley face appears.

For this lesson, students use movement and the creation of human structures to help them understand angles, plane shapes, and geometric solids.

In this lesson, students will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.
