An outstanding lesson on triangles awaits your math scholars. Learners focus on the triangle, which is the strongest of all polygons. They see the role that triangles play in the design of buildings, and learn about triangle...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Students investigate triangles. In this shapes geometry lesson plan, students define and state the attributes for equilateral, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Students locate the prefix "tri" in a variety of words and make connections...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes lesson, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher examples of shapes...

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

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...

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to create 3 dimensional...
