Students create patterns with shapes and words. In this patterns and shapes activity, students recieve an envelope with shapes with words on them. Students make patterns with the shapes that also create a poem. Students can add to the...

Students build polygons on their geoboards. In this geometry lesson plan, students build and then draw it on paper and label it. Students then switch with a partner to try an make a symmetrical shape.

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Students build a scaled model of the solar system. In this space science lesson, students arrange them according to their distances from the sun. They analyze each planet's unique features such as density and relative gravity.

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.

Learners create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Young scholars search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Learners explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....

Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

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 evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes lesson, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry instructional activity, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once...

Learners create a scrapbook. For this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Learners 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...

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,...

Young scholars explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Young scholars explore symmetry in real life objects.

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....
