Learners create different angles and shapes by using different lengths of straws. In this geometry straws lesson plan, students glue straws onto paper and define what they have made.

Origami is an excellent way to combine Japanese culture, art, and geometric shapes into one engaging instructional activity! Scholars begin by listening to the story Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and learn the origin of...

Pupils investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order to...

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...

Approach geometry concepts with youngsters using visual guides like this one to find area. They draw a rectangle, segmenting it into rows and columns. Scholars determine how many square units they see in the partitioned rectangle. They...

Line up this lesson when introducing symmetry to your young mathematicians. Watch how two figures are introduced to different ways of folding and identifying whether or not they are actually symmetrical. Finish the lesson with a...

Learners explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have in...

Excellent lesson! Anne Linehane's geometry story, The Greedy Triangle, offers an opportunity to practice forming various types of polygons with your learners. Using elastic bands (or Chinese jump ropes),...

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson plan. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson plan covers all...

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged to...

Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.
