Classify Triangles
Here is a classifying triangles practice instructional activity in which learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.
Curated OER
Polygons and Angles
Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...
Curated OER
Geometry Straws
Students 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.

Have You Got The Angle?
In this angle worksheet, learners complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions. An answer link is provided; page is labeled as a "post test."
Curated OER
The Greedy Triangle-Intro to Geometric Shapes
In this geometry lesson, learners read The Greedy Triangle and use geoboards to construct geometric shapes. They identify the number of sides and angles each shape has.
Curated OER
Identify Different Types of Angles
In this angles worksheet, students identify a set of 4 given angles as either obtuse, acute, right or straight, checking the correct box next to each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Triangle Puzzler
Students are introduced to some basic concepts of geometry. They explain that the definition of a triangle is a figure with three sides, three angles, and three points. Triangles can be named by using three points in their correct sequence.
Curated OER
Angle Land and Angle Aerobics
Sixth graders investigate different types of angles. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders use a protractor to identify acute, obtuse, and straight angles.

Toothpick Triangles
Students draw a chart (included in the lesson) to use with their investigation. They review terminology of triangles and receive toothpicks to use in the lesson. Beginning with three toothpicks, students form a triangle. They complete...
Curated OER
Picking Pythagoras
Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...
