Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Students listen to the teacher read "A Dreamer's Cloak." They examine the difference between squares and circles and create their own cloak by using a paper bag and different shapes.

Students, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in...

Students use the Geometer's Sketchpad to illustrate possible answers to a parallelogram problem. As a class, they discuss the point-slope and linear equation forms. Individually, students solve their equations and check the results on...

Learners practice finding the areas and patterns within a square and explore the concept of quadratic functions. They observe and record the area values in a table, plot a graph of Area versus Distance and complete a variety of student...

High Schoolers investigate the question of whether or not the area of square can be trisected. In this lesson, they use geometry software to answer the questions and determine what conditions are necessary to the three regions to by equal.

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Let imaginations run wild as participants design animal pens. A performance task challenges young mathematicians to determine the perimeter or a missing side length of different animal pens. They then design pens that meet given...

Here is a straightforward example of how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find an unknown side-length of a trapezoid. Commentary gives additional information on proving that the inside of the trapezoid is a rectangle, but is...

Using a word bank, mathematicians fill out a crossword puzzle using 9 clues. Each clue describes a shape, using details such as the number of sides, angle degrees, and the shape category. For example: "A quadrilateral with four equal...

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

In this geometry worksheet, students choose the correct name to match the shape given. Students identify the words for oval, rectangle, square, circle, triangle, and diamond.

In this geometry worksheet, learners cut along the dotted lines of a pattern for a square pyramid. They make folds and glue the pattern together to make a square pyramid net.

In this math activity, students examine the measurements for the face of the triangle and trapezoid. Then they figure out the total surface area for each.

In this math testing practice worksheet, students practice problem solving and calculating the answers to a variety of thirty mathematical word equations.

In this visual thinking worksheet, students count all the rectangles in a figure that has both large and small shapes. Students write how many rectangles they count in the figure.

In this rectangles worksheet, 2nd graders draw two different rectangles with a perimeter of 10 units and two with a perimeter of 12 centimeters.

In this solving equations learning exercise, 11th graders solve and complete 16 different problems by factoring. First, they write the four steps for solving a quadratic equation. Then, students verify each solution to an equation using...

In this visual thinking worksheet, 2nd graders determine how many smaller shapes are within the four larger shapes. Shapes include circles, rectangles, triangles, and squares.

In this squares worksheet, students analyze a group of geometric figures and look for squares. Students color all the squares they see.

Students trace the shape of a large square and write the name of the shape, square, on the line provided. An excellent basic shapes worksheet for young learners!

In this shapes worksheet, students cut out 6 bingo cards, color the call cards with 4 different colors and then participate in playing a bingo game with 6 different shapes.

In this geometry worksheet, students color the pictures of objects that are shaped like squares. They choose between 11 pictures of items such as a heart, a window frame, a computer, and a coin.
