Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, students identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and right...

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

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

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...

Students explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Students work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

Upper graders investigate how to find the surface area when using two-dimensional shapes. They conduct an investigation in groups while working sample problems given during class discussion with the teacher. They also review how to...

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Students draw on graph paper. For this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

Fifth graders explore polygons. For this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that their...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

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...

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

Students discuss and work with lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students start with a warm up activity on metric conversion. They talk about the definition of symmetry and reflection before completing a worksheet.

Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson plan, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

In this geometry math review worksheet, students respond to 37 questions that serve as a review of geometry skills.

Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

In this geometry worksheet, students define and draw quadrilaterals. They differentiate between the different shapes. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....
