Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson plan, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes. 

Young scholars make a quilt. For this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Young scholars explore designs with triangles and squares and then...

Students read the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and study geometry. In this geometry lesson, students identify geometric shapes and their properties. Students create a geo-critter.

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.
