Use this rhyming description of Max's Fantastical Zoo to make some amazing animals from geometric shapes. There is a teacher's guide for easy lesson planning.

In this lesson, young scholars observe symmetry, geometric shapes, and angles in two Early American dances, and then choreograph their own dance with symmetrical figures. Media and teaching materials are included.

In this lesson, 3rd graders will use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle.

Children need to move from the manipulative expressions of the distributive property into the mathematical equations eventually. This lesson is the first step in leading them to that goal.

This lesson is a real world task that combines many skills the students have learned throughout the school year.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

This video geometry lesson [6:14] explains the concept of perimeter and has varied exercises for students to practice.

These lessons are designed to guide young children through an introduction to geometry. Children learn to recognize shapes and to create patterns, and explore spatial relations and symmetry. Each activity is aligned to mandated standards.

Simple lesson designed to help students learn the geometric concepts of translation, reflection, and symmetry by creating Navajo weaving patterns. Includes templates and instructions and is available in English and Spanish....

Straightforward instructional activity designed to introduce students to symmetry and reflection using MIRA mirrors. Includes two worksheets--instructions and activities are available in English and Spanish.

Straightforward lesson that introduces students to pi by letting them measure real objects and solve a challenge problem. Includes instructions and a "Data Sheet" for keeping track of measurements. Available in English and Spanish.

The objective of this lesson plan is for students to, "explore spatial relationships by determining the area of various shapes and creating tessellation patterns." Using a variety of hands-on activities, students apply concepts of...

Learners will participate in several activities that will build their knowledge of coordinates graphing. Students will use ordered pairs to locate points on a grid. Learners will also relate coordinate graphing to the real world through...

An integrated geometry lesson plan on spatial sense in which young scholars identify and use different shapes to create a tessellation. "Through a variety of modalities such as writing, music, art, poetry, and literature, students are...

Geometry lesson on line symmetry with practice exercises.

This geometry lesson and video explain angle measure, how to measure angles with a protractor, and has varied exercises for the students.

This geometry resource investigates types of angles. Definitions, detailed examples, and practice problems are included.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart discusses plane figures and solid figures. The definitions and lesson sequence are based on Scott Foresman's Grade 4 Math textbook.

This example provides a clear explanation of how to compare figures to see if they are similar and the formula to determine if the ratios are equal. Interactive practice activities are provided.

Third graders are preparing to build bat houses. They have calculated surface area, identified nail placement, and will now collect data on angle types in this real-world activity.

Understanding area and perimeter can help children work on solutions to very important, real world problems.

In this multi-day activity, 3rd graders make 3 different models of an orphanage floor plan using Google Drawing, Virtual Graph paper, and a construction of rectilinear shapes, to calculate the area of each room using units square.

Online drawing programs allow students to explore many possibilities with polygons!

Connect new measurement knowledge and skills to the students' immediate environment.
