Score some problems all related to soccer balls. The first few problems focus on pattern blocks to see relationships between figures. More advanced problems focus on actual soccer balls, the patterns on the balls, and their volumes and...

Students explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Students identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their partner...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Eighth graders experiment to decide if a box that is twice as big holds twice a much. They work the concept of volume and how changing dimensions affect it.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry activity, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.
