Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Young scholars use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Fifth graders solve problems while examining a variety of isosceles triangles.  In this isosceles triangle lesson, 5th graders examine shapes to find their characteristics.  Students pay particular attention to the...

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Students examine the history of mandalas from Tibet. After reviewing the Designing a Mandala handout, they use geometric symmetrical shapes to create their own examples. Next, they write poems or essays and explain the meaning of the...

In this scales worksheet, students find the weight of the shapes on the scale by comparing it to the other side, and make up their own problems. Students complete 5 sets of problems.

In this scales worksheet, students use addition, multiplication, and division to find out how much the shapes on the scales weigh. Students complete 8 problems total.

In this bedroom redecoration project, your young mathematicians become interior designers. They plan, draw, and determine finances for the project. They apply their knowledge of working with decimals, geometric shapes, and problem...

Learners calculate the surface area of three rectangular prisms, including a cube, based on given dimensions. There are only three diagrams with which to work. Nice homework, as it provides practice, but isn't too much busy work or...

Learners study about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets. They understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of...

Students use a protractor to measure angles. They classify angles by type: right angle, acute angles, and obtuse angles. Students build and draw right, acute, and obtuse angles. They discuss how do people in various professions use...

In this similar-congruent worksheet, students determine measures of unknown angles, draw congruent shapes and determine whether shapes are congruent. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.

Young scholars convert decimals and fractions to percents. In this introductory percents lesson, learners work with equivalent fractions and learn to draw ratios. They recognize how to change a fraction to a percent.

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.

Students work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. In this telling time instructional activity, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles...

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

In this geometry worksheet, students identify different kinds of triangles. Students are given four triangles with their measurements and are to determine which triangle it is by choosing from six different kinds.

In this geometry skills learning exercise, students examine 3 labeled circles and identify the noted items as diameters, chords, radii, or centers.

In this angles worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which an angle is measured with a protractor. Students mark if the angle is acute, right, obtuse or straight.

In this nets worksheet, students determine which figures will make given nets, then write the names of 4 given shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
