Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Learners examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Students become familiar with the achievements of the artist Faith Ringgold. They take notice of the patterns in their environment. They connect the mathematical concept of patterns to create a class quilt.

Fifth graders classify triangles. In this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

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 investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Fifth graders practice using estimation. For this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.

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.

A collection of mock math tests, designed for grades 3-5, modeled after portions of standardized tests.

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...

Do you need practice remembering or learning different geometry vocabulary words and definitions? The flash cards at this web site are for you! There is a link to a list of terms with definitions you can click if you want to see if you...

Use this lesson plan to help students learn about cylinders. Students will be creating cylinders, and comparing them and their capacity. This engaging, hands-on lesson will hold student interest and be very beneficial to student learning.

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Students will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

Use the shapes provided and figure out how they fit together to make a 3 X 3 cube at this one page website. The solution is readily available right at the website.

Test your logic, polygon properties, and pattern recognition skills working on this challenge. Solution included.
