Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.

Young scholars estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

In this geometry worksheet, students cut out the net for a square pyramid. They cut along the dotted lines and fold the shape into at three-dimensional model.

In this math worksheet, students find the area and perimeter of the regular and irregular polygons. They pay attention to use the proper measurements for calculation.

In this polygon activity, learners observe pictures of polygons and identify their proper name. They read descriptions of polygons and determine the polygon described. This one-page activity contains ten problems.

In this polygons worksheet, students fill out a graphic organizer about the name of the polygon, the number of sides, the angle sums, and more. Students complete this for 5 polygons.

Students compute the surface area of 3 geometric solids to determine the shape of package that would require the least amount of paper to wrap. In this geometry instructional activity, students work on a two-question assessment embedded...

In this geometry worksheet, students identify items as either lines, line segments or rays by checking the appropriate box beneath each figure.

Young scholars choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

In this polygon activity, students determine whether a set of given polygons are irregular or regular. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students construct the tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions to fold and cut. They make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other. They explore patterns and shapes with the...

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Learners explore the four forces of flight. They investigate the four forces of flight: lift, drag, thrust and weight (gravity). They experiment with flight-testing various objects commonly found around the house and constructing paper...

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...

Three solid figures are lined up down the left side of the page to be compared to three nets down the right side. Learners simply decide if the corresponding net matches the solid figure. Be aware that the publisher's watermark is...

Learners explore volume and surface area. In this math lesson plan, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Learners discuss area.

In this area practice worksheet, students examine 6 figures and use their problem solving skills and the information provided to calculate the area of the squares and rectangles.
