Coordinate Plane Transformations
Geometric transformations are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle...
Curated OER
Coordinate Plane
Learners use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.
Curated OER
Geometry: Translations and Reflections
Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...

Geometry: Helix-a-Graph
High schoolers use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns lesson, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Symmetrical Geometry Paintings
Here is a clever, cross-curricular instructional activity that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and...
Curated OER
Escher-Esque Tessellations
Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part lesson creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet research, and...

Coordinate Geometry Battleship Lesson Plan
Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate plane. In this coordinate graphing activity, students select a point on their grid to place their "battleship." It the opposing team misses the ship, the...
Curated OER
Geometry in the Real World
Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...
Curated OER
Coordinate Geometry
Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...
Curated OER
Let's Plot Points
Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...
Curated OER
Space Geometry
Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Describing and Creating Plane Figures - Grade One
Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...
Curated OER
Basic Shapes
Students create books about shapes. In this shape lesson, students select a topic such as points, lines, angles, planes, polygons, quadrilaterals, triangles, circles, and polyhedra. In groups, they create an illustrated children's book...
Curated OER
Battle Shapes
Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their...
Curated OER
Terrific Tangrams
Third graders construct tangrams. For this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.
Curated OER
Mining Shapes
In this 2-D shapes lesson, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson!

"Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt" by Deborah Hopkinson
Students create paper quilts of their own using the isometric grid that tessellates the plane or the fraction quilt square.
Curated OER
Problem Solving Using Power Polygons
Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...
Curated OER
Find the Shape
Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals
(square,...
