How can we identify shapes in the Universe? High schoolers will compare and contrast elliptic and hyperbolic geometry. They will also explore one possible way to measure the curvature of the Universe, namely, by measuring the sum of the...

Students identify the different types of bridges. Using the internet, they research information on how they are built by completing a scavenger hunt. Locating a specific area, they determine which type of bridge would be appropriate and...

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

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry activity, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

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

Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.
