Lesson Plans and Worksheets
The lessons are so well laid out and comprehensive, it is a delight to be able to plug them in to my curriculum. Working within an alternative school, I need to provide my students with clear and specific information, links, and directions. Lesson Planet helps me find it all. Thank you so much!

Plane Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Plane lesson plan ideas and activities
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.
Students construct the Tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions, make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other.
Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.
Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate the area of shapes and relate the formula to early geometry history.
Motivate your learners with this lesson on geometric shapes. Second graders review the characteristics of plane figures, compare and contrast solid and plane figures, and create quilts focusing on the use of geometric patterns.
Ninth graders discuss the concept of hyperbolic geometry. They complete Internet geometry activities and write essays comparing and contrasting hyperbolic geometry to Euclidean geometry.
Students explore geometric transformations. In this geometry lesson plan, high school students create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real world figure. These instructions are shared with middle school students, who reproduce the transformation by plotting the given points, then hypothesize the name of the figure that was transformed. Students discuss the project collaboratively through the use of video conferencing.
Students explore geometric shapes. In this cross curricular shapes lesson plan, students contribute ideas to a KWL chart about shapes and listen to The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns. Students identify and sort pattern blocks following a guided lesson plan. Students form large shapes with a jump rope and explore shapes using only their sense of touch.
In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, young scholars solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.
Tenth graders explore dilations. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders collect and analyze data as they investigate relationships between the pre-image and the image of a triangle. Students investigate angle measures, side lengths, and the dilation factor. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows students to form and verify conjectures regarding dilations.
