Students discuss figures with various numbers of sides.  In this geometry lesson, students are read The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, they participate in a class discussion of many sided figures and are introduced to the term...

Third graders construct a dodecahedron that displays facts about two and three-dimensional figures. They use a pattern to construct a dodecahedron after writing facts about geometry onto each of the figure's twelve faces.

Third graders problem solve using drawings and map interpretations. They preview graphs and Cartesian geometry. They follow directions on a map using a grid and compass references while simulating they are reading a pirate map.

Students examine transformations. In this math lesson plan, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.

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.

Third graders are introduced to the meanings of the concepts slides, turns, and flips in how they relate to Geometry. As a class, they use their bodies to demonstrate how each term should look like. To end the lesson, they apply the...

In this math worksheet, learners identify the location of pictures on a coordinate plane. They write some answers as an ordered pair. They read ordered pairs and identify the picture at a specified location. Six problems are on a page....

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid paper,...

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Students discover math measurements by creating a skit with classmates.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize objects in a paper bag and index cards to create a short skit focusing on debate over the size of the objects....

In this geometry lesson, students trace the capital letter "T" in different directions to learn how a shape is congruent. Students trace this letter on a sheet of paper, then turn, flip it, and trace it in different directions, only to...

Students create tessellations. In this math instructional activity, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.

Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry instructional activity, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

In this segments worksheet, students draw a figure for each problem where line segments intersect at a certain point and label each line and intersection. Students complete 3 problems total.

Use this perimeter and area worksheet to have learners find the perimeter and area of shapes with right angles. They complete a total of nine problems.

In this symmetry worksheet, students select the shape from a choice of 4 that is not symmetrical, 4 problems total. Answers included on page 2.

Students create various geometric shapes with their younger grade "buddy partners." They identify and discuss various geometric shapes, and using gumdrops or marshmallows and toothpicks, construct different flat and three-dimensional...

In this geometry and art worksheet, 3rd graders trace and cut out a cubic net to fold and glue together to learn about the dynamics of three-dimensional figures and shapes.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons....

In this geometry skills worksheet, students examine 6 shapes and identify each of the shapes as either open shapes or closed shapes.

In this geometry skills practice worksheet, students respond to 6 questions that require them to identify lines of symmetry.
