Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson plan, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry...

Introduce your math class to the perimeter of a circle. Teach them that pi describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter. As a hands-on investigation, pairs or small groups use string to compare these two values...

Sixth graders estimate angle measures and angle theroms. In this online interactive geometry lesson, 6th graders review types of angles, investigate angle theroms, and explore nonadjacent angles.

Students explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. In this shape identification lesson, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Students...

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate unknown angles in diagrams of 3 triangles. They draw and answer short answer questions about angles. They then calculate the designated angles in 2 more diagrams.

In the second of two similar worksheets, anglers compute missing angles when given an alternate, supplementary, or complementary value. There are six problems to solve, but each of them requires two to four solutions. This is a nice...

In the first of two similar worksheets, geometers compute two to four unknown angles when given an alternate, supplementary, or complementary value. There are six multliple-step problems to solve. This is a nice challenge for your...

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own. They...

In this geometry worksheet, learners answer questions about geometric and arithmetic sequences. This lesson is an online interactive lesson.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders identify the area of the four given circles by using the given diameters. There is a space for students to show their work.

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this lesson has as much to do with keyboarding skills as it...

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

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...

Learners examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Students complete a table of values and plot points, as well as construct a graph on a coordinate grid. They construct two graphs on the same coordinate system, and identify the point of intersection. Students represent and record...

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

In this volume worksheet, students find the volume of 8 prisms.   Students are given the length, width, and height of each prism.

In this Pythagorean Theorem instructional activity, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the unlabeled side of the right triangle. There are 8 problems all together.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.
