Students create paper bridges. In this geometry and architecture lesson plan, groups use legal paper and paper clips to design a bridge that will hold 100 pennies. Links to mini-lessons exploring stability of different geometric figures...

Learners use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders solve 6 word problems in which they find the circumference of items that are circles. They find the circumference of items such as a basketball hoop, a cereal bowl, and a circular frame.

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.

Pupils create a bar graph. They will collect and organize data to turn into bar graphs. They create graphs for the favorite sports of the class, color of M&M's, and types of cars passing by.

Scholars view the video, "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," and discuss examples in nature which have proportions of the golden ratio. They measure and record different body lengths from a worksheet and convert the ratios to equivalent...

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

Formulas and procedures for finding the area and circumference are not provided on this handout, so it will be best used as a practice of already-acquired skills. It is a well-rounded assignment, however, as it includes diagrams,...

Students explore geometry by participating in a class card game. For this triangle lesson, students utilize playing cards with shapes on them which they group up and discard, similar to "Old Maid." Students complete a worksheet and...

Learners calculate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students solve word problems with circles and create formulas to calculate the area. They find the rate and complex area of a circle.

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 create patterns with shapes and words. In this patterns and shapes activity, students recieve an envelope with shapes with words on them. Students make patterns with the shapes that also create a poem. Students can add to the...

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

Students practice using measuring techniques by examining bubbles.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize mathematic formulas to discover the circumference and diameter of soap bubbles they blow.  Students practice creating...

Students identify different geometric shapes, and arrange them artistically in original jewelry designs.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Students build a scaled model of the solar system. In this space science activity, students arrange them according to their distances from the sun. They analyze each planet's unique features such as density and relative gravity.

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Students investigate the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem for geometry by using word problems. The challenge is for them to translate the words into the right measurements for a triangle looking for the longest side known as the...

Young scholars make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon lesson, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...
