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...

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...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.

In this Pascal activity, students begin at the center of a rhombus to identify the number of ways the word "Pascal" may be found.  This one-page activity contains 1 puzzle.  The answer is provided at the bottom of the page.

In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the radius of the smallest possible circle that contains the figure provided.  The complete solution is provided by clicking on the "show solution" button found below the...

Learners construct a convincing argument that the same amount of fabric is needed for each color of quilt being made in a specific design. They justify the relationship between vertical angles and the sum of the interior angles. Students

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems that involve solving equations with and without rational expressions.

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 work together to create mobiles with different polygons. They research the polygon and list its characteristics. They may present to the class if they chose to.

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

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...

The task, should your class decide to take it, is to list a series of reflections that transfer a line segment from one position to another. 

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....

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.

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.

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...

In this problem solving learning exercise, 6th graders focus on the angles described in each word problem. Students must solve for each of the 6 problems, giving a written explanation for each in the space provided.

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 geometry math review worksheet, students respond to 37 questions that serve as a review of geometry skills.

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