Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

In this geometry activity worksheet, students cut a 6x6 according to the directions and construct the 4 listed shapes from the pieces. Students also respond to 5 questions that require them record details regarding the 5 listed shapes.

In this geometry and religion instructional activity, students examine a black line picture of an Islamic pattern before identifying the shapes in the pattern. They color the pattern by following the directions given at the bottom of the...

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.

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

Learners complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students follow directions to make a stained glass window design of regular and irregular polygons with specific geometric elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students also analyze other classmate's designs.

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.

Learners examine how to investigate polygons using an instrument of their own construction. They should be able to prove the general formula for the number of degrees in any polygon (including a triangle). Finally they investigate an...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Middle schoolers investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

In this geometry problem solving activity, students answer 8 words problems based on their knowledge of circles, circumference, radius, diameter, and perimeters. They show their work on the sheet between problems.

Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students are given the equations to find the perimeter and area of objects. They practice finding the perimeter by measuring the sides of given objects and adding them together. They find the area of...

Students investigate technology and its purpose in the workplace. In this geometry lesson, students design and build a paper towel structure to investigate motion and forces. They are given a restricted weight and asked to build their...

In this geometry skills practice worksheet, students respond to 9 questions that require them to calculate the measurements of the unknown angles.

For this angles practice worksheet, students respond to 4 questions that require them to identify the pictured angles as acute, right, or obtuse triangles.

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...

Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. For this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

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

For this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.
