Seventh graders review the concept of finding the areas of a rectangle. This lesson uses the classroom as a real life application for the formula of area. They measure classroom in order to compute the area.

In this geometric shape learning exercise, students trace one large example of a rectangle. On primary lines, students trace a dotted word "rectangle" one time.

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This lesson includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. For this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Students experiment and analyze triangulation to assess degrees of combined angles, predict polygons that tessellate as well as extending of shapes to create tessellations. They explore the concept of why some polygons tessellate when...

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...

Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this lesson. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.

In this consumer mathematics worksheet, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations. The fourteen...

Students watch and discuss an M. C. Escher video, use what they have learned to explain and apply their knowledge of tessellations in order to create a slide translation, present their findings in a 12" x 18" poster, and explore...

Students use problem solving skills, formal geometry, and The Geometer?s Sketchpad. They model and solve two real-world problems by constructing the in center and circumcenter of triangles.

Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The lesson has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative activities strengthen the...

In this counting squares worksheet, students solve 2 problems that include counting 2 different sets of squares. First, they draw a picture of four squares arranged in two rows of two. Then, students determine the total number of squares...

Students study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.

Students comprehend how Landsat satellites orbit teh Earth to produce images. They comprehend the elliptical path of satellites. Students recognize that a different orbital path is needed for different satellites to perform their tasks....

In this mathematics worksheet, students circle the shape in each group that is different. there are six different groups to identify on the sheet.

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...

Students explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Students work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...

Design an efficient cereal box. Scholars use set volume criteria to design a cereal box by applying their knowledge of surface area to determine the cost to create the box. They then determine whether their designs will fit on...

In this shapes definitions worksheet, students match a set of descriptions with their correct shape names, 10 total, then answer a set of 4 additional questions. Answers included on page 2.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may view the correct answers.

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

This lesson focuses on polygons; a polygon is a closed, flat shape that has only straight sides. Polygons can have any number of sides and angles, but the sides cannot be curved.

Learn about quadrilaterals, polygons, and transformation by taking a look at examples and a video lesson.

Explore different polygons and find their perimeter with this interactive lesson from T.V.411. Students see examples of polygons in everyday life and have immediate feedback to your responses to lesson questions.
