Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

In this math worksheet, students learn basic geometric shapes by drawing them as they sing a class song. Students draw a rectangle, square, circle and triangle as they sing the song to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey."

Pupils practice moving over shapes they have designed.

Students practice moving over shapes they have designed. They work on trying to travel around the shapes while practicing their jumping and landing patterns.

Junior geometers practice stating the names of different geometric shapes. They define and name the different shapes and compare and contrast shapes to one another. They also relate the shapes to objects in the real world.

Students play a game to demonstrate the detrimental effects of an algal bloom on the environment. In this microorganism lesson plan, students discuss microbes and algae. They dramatize the effects of an algal bloom using a role-playing...

In this math worksheet, students study 5 basic geometric shapes. Students write a description for each, naming the shape, telling about the edges, the lengths and the corners.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

What is black and white and re(a)d all over? Class members build a table out of rolled newspapers. Pupils follow the design process to design, build, and test their paper tables in the second challenge in a series of five.

Is that a right triangle or a wrong triangle? Young mathematicians look at eleven different shapes and use a measuring tool of their choice to determine which triangles have right angles. Consider cutting out sets of the shapes to...

Make music. Class members construct a simple record player using a paper cone and a pin. The resource provides a description of what is happening and why listeners can hear the sounds through the cone. 

In this understanding triangles worksheet, students read 6 pages of examples and explanations about identifying triangles, determining length of sides and degrees of angles, including the hypotenuse, then answer 28 questions, answers...

Students investigate the effects of four different shaped wands and geometric shapes in a bubble solution. In this bubbleology lesson, the students build water and soap molecules. Students work in cooperative groups and conduct...

Students learn through bubbles. In this science lesson plan, students test the effect of four differently shape wands and three geometric figures in a bubble mixture.

Middle schoolers complete activities to learn about the shapes and their vertices. In this shape recognition lesson, students discover the rule linking the number of sides with the number of vertices for shapes. Middle schoolers...

Learners create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math...

In this early childhood shape problem solving activity, students determine the 4 shapes that are described. Student also respond to 1 short answer question.

Pupils recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Pupils describe how the pattern is made.

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Second graders identify shapes and measurements in everyday life.  In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders locate rectangles in their classroom and use standard and nonstandard forms to measure them.  Students view a video clip...

Learners construct a variety of right triangles using a right-angled set square, cutting corners from pieces of paper or cardboard, and using dynamic geometry software. They measure the sides of these various right triangles and record...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.
