Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...

Second graders explore various geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders identify geometric shapes using colors and math problems.

Students explore the shape of things as they bend, twist, and turn. For this early childhood lesson plan, students develop social, creative-thinking, and language skills and spatial awareness as they use their bodies to create geometric...

Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. For this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Students explore circles through the use of octagons. They inscribe a circle in a regular octagon and find the area and perimeter of the hexagon with respect to the radius of the circle. Students present their findings to the class.

Pupils study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.

Students discover different geometric shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, and octagon. Students incorporate the use of technology by taking pictures of shapes around their school using a digital camera.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

Learners investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson plan. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson plan, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students comprehend how Landsat satellites orbit teh Earth to produce images. They comprehend the elliptical path of satellites. Students recognize that a different orbital path is needed for different satellites to perform their tasks....

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

Students identify the interior and exterior measures of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula for interior angles of polygons. They differentiate between triangular and polygons angles.
