Students identify properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students label polygons as parallelogram or not. They define and label the properties of a kite.

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

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.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Pupils add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show their...

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.

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions instructional activity, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This instructional activity includes individual practice and an...

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...

Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The lesson plan has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative activities...

Eighth graders practice calculating the unknown length of a right angle triangle. They also examine the pythogoram theory in groups. They help each other work through the problems.

In this math worksheet, students examine 4 pictures of 3D objects and write the name of each. Students then study 3 pictures and figure the number of faces, edges and vertices on each.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

In this consumer mathematics activity, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations. The fourteen...

This multimedia that includes a short video [1:19] and other interactive activities on Learn Alberta math resource looks at real-world examples of shape classification in the investigation and solving of crimes. The accompanying...

Explore the world of quadrilaterals and their properties. Find answers to questions like what are quadrilaterals, how they are formed, easy ways to identify them, and commonly seen quadrilaterals around us.

In this mini-lesson plan, you will learn about the definition of geometric shapes and view many examples. You can check out the interactive simulations to know more about the lesson plan and try your hand at solving a few interesting...

Mattie and her four sisters are visiting a toy store. Can you help them find different shapes in the toy store?

Test your knowledge of the sum of angles inside a quadrilateral.

Test your knowledge of identifying quadrilaterals.

Determine quadrilaterals based on parallel sides.

The lesson investigates types of quadrilaterals. Definitions, examples, and a worksheet are available.

Introductory site on polygons, with exercises on the basic ones.
