Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

In this math applications worksheet, students solve 6 varied problems that include estimation, money, basic operations, pictographs and geometry.

Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.

Students investigate right angles. In this geometry lesson, students define the word "angle" and create a right angle finder from an index card. Students find right angles in their classroom. As an extension activity, students try to...

Save those precious minutes and hours spent planning math lessons with this mini-unit on telling time. Offering a series of engaging hands-on and collaborative learning activities, these three lessons teach children how to read...

Challenge the spatial thinking of your young mathematicians with this printable tangram puzzle. Using different sized triangles, squares, and parallelograms, children must figure out how to fit all the shapes together to create a square.

Learners explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Learners create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Follow this engaging slide show on the calculation of polygon perimeter with some hands-on measurement of perimeters to solidify the concepts. On this webpage there are interactive assessment questions and links to related resources by...

An excellent way to reinforce math vocabulary in your classroom! Seventy-eight posters focus on number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra.

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

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

In this geometry activity, 3rd graders complete 5 exercises with line segments. They name segment that are shown in figure, compare the lengths of segments, name intersections, and tell alternate ways of naming segments.

For this geometry practice worksheet, students practice their problem solving skills as they reveal whether 5 shapes have open or closed curves.

In this geometry instructional activity, students complete 16 multiple choice questions, identifying shapes. A reference website for additional resources is given.

In this geometry worksheet, students answer 5 questions, finding shapes using a figure with labeled line segments running through it. A reference website is given for additional resources.

For this geometry worksheet, 3rd graders draw the figure that is describe in each sentence. They use line segments and points as they draw or label each figure.

In this geometry practice activity, students use their problem solving skills to identify the types of triangles the 3 labeled triangles are.

In this geometry worksheet, students circle the shape in the group that is the most similar to the one given. There are four problems to complete.

Students follow a math trail that has been created by the teacher. They follow the trail and answer math questions at stations along the way. They work in small groups to devise a math trail of their own which they share with another class.

Students explore the characteristics of geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students use tiles to draw pentominoes. Students participate in various learning center activities focused on configuring pentominoes.

Upper graders measure the area and perimeter of several items. In this area and perimeter lesson, learners engage in measuring area and perimeter in several scenarios. Full-group instruction requires learners to listen to instruction and...

Students construct a variety of four-sided figures using a K'NEX Geometry Set. They view and discuss pictures of shapes, then in small groups they construct as many four-sided shapes as possible using the K'NEX Rods and Connectors. As a...
