Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Young scholars examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Tenth graders experiment with gravity and air pressure. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders build their own kits and fly it. They investigate the questions: what keeps a kite in the air and what are some important factors when flying a...

Students investigate science and math by building a rocket. In this geometry instructional activity, students build a rocket using paper towel tubes while investigating questions about launching a rocket. They discuss balance and unique...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...
