Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson plan, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Students utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and graphs...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Pupils practice drawing geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, learners complete an activity that requires them to draw angles and shapes to the nearest degree.

In this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Geometry is everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Those skillful mathematicians discuss shapes and then come up with a well-researched list of shapes seen in everyday applications. They put their knowledge of shapes to work as each small...

Students use a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of white drawing paper, each student creates an original line drawing of a subject that interests them. They can create a geometric design. Students place the completed drawing under an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

In this math and language arts worksheet, students examine 15 words in a word bank which pertain to geometric shapes. Students find the words in a word search puzzle.

In this geometric shape size comparison activity, students name the shape in each of three rows. They circle the largest shape in each row. They see blue circles, green squares, and orange diamonds.

In this construction geometric shapes worksheet, student use the software program for instruction then construction shapes and bisect angles for four questions.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students analyze a picture of a skyscraper tower with many shapes. Students color all the triangles.

In this shapes word search worksheet, students read 7 words in a word bank that pertain to geometric shapes. Students locate these words in a word search puzzle.

High schoolers identify various geometric shapes. Apply the given formulas to determine the volume of these shapes. Design their own container to conform to specifications provided. Use their knowledge of volume formulas and shapes to...

Highly ornate or complex art can only be mastered with patience and skill. Learners explore the skills required to carve complex geometric designs seen on the image of a palace facade. They examine the image, discuss carving techniques,...

We have formulas for finding the volume of geometric shapes, but what if the shape is irregular? Lesson describes how to find volume through water displacement. After a demonstration, scholars practice in small groups. Then analysis...

Every pupil with a sweet tooth will be clamoring for this lab and analysis, particularly when they're allowed to eat the results! Volume and surface area formulas for cones are developed from models, and then extended to the printing of...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Transform your scholars into mathematicians as they develop their own geometric definition. The task asks individuals to compare cylindrical objects and create a definition for the disc-ness of each object. They may use any method and...

In this identifying shapes as open or closed worksheet, 2nd graders look at eight shapes and check the box for open shape or closed shape.

In this counting shapes instructional activity, students count how many squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles they can count in the picture of a house. Students count 45 shapes total.

In this shapes worksheet, students name a set of 4 shapes, then write why they named them as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
