Geometry Lesson Plans

Explore geometry with this resource. Learners use protractors to measure angles and the geometric relationship between triangles and circles to find distances. They calculate rates of speed. They solve problems using the circumference of a circle.

Have your class practice measuring with standard and nonstandard tools. Primary learners use software and books to learn about measurement. They measure a variety of objects using nonstandard tools. Then, they use standard measurement tools to measure objects.

Explore geometry by having middle schoolers measure length, circumference and more using photocopies of hands. Learners are given pictures of six hands to match to a list of measurements. Then, they use centimeter rulers to measure the hands. This is a creative way to explore this topic.

Help 9th graders identify lines, points, rays, and planes in geometry. They  practice identifying, measuring, and drawing angles of different degrees. This is a fundamental lesson to help students learn the building blocks of geometry.

Help your middle and high schoolers explore geometric terminology. In this geometry lesson, learners use the entire year to create an ABC Geometry book. Students use a list of terms learned in class to create a page for each letter. Students use a rubric to guide their process. 

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance around objects. Then, they record their findings using a table. Finally, they make predictions about the perimeter of an object and use a ruler to determine the perimeter.

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to describe their quilt pattern.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Ninth graders discuss the concept of hyperbolic geometry. They complete Internet geometry activities and write essays comparing and contrasting hyperbolic geometry to Euclidean geometry.

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources are provided.
