In this geometry worksheet #13 worksheet, 10th graders work in groups to solve 6 geometry problems, involving measurement of angles.

Students examine and discuss artwork by the artist Ellsworth Kelly. They create an abstract picture of two-dimensional geometric shapes using Kid Pix software based on a photograph taken by the student.

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, 9th graders solve 17 various types of problems, mostly word problems related to determining the area or perimeter of a geometric shape. They also determine the area and perimeter of shaded portions...

Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Students discuss and study the word symmetry. They examine letters of the alphabet, shapes, and artwork and decide if they are symmetrical or not. Then they create their own symmetry monsters.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

In this area learning exercise, students complete a ten question multiple choice test by finding the area of various geometric figures. This is an interactive learning exercise.
