Students learn about and make tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students watch a video about wallpaper tessellations and use a handout to learn about tessellations. Students make an irregular tessellation.

Students discover the sum of the interior and exterior angles of several polygons. In this Geometers sketchpad lesson, students work in groups to find the stated measurements of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. Students...

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson covers all aspects of...

Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students create tessellations. In this geometry instructional activity, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. For this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson plan, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Students observe a selection of shapes. They identify which shapes will tessellate and justify their answer. Students apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons to create tessellations.

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

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

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Students investigate and perform reflections and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast the relationship between reflections and symmetries.

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

Learners calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.

Students graph polygons using the name and number of sides. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They relate the formula to different polygons and shapes.

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

Fifth graders reorganize comic strips to have them make sense, complete outline and organize their thoughts into outline form to explain directions, and use that outline to complete their own directions for geometry activities.

Second graders practice new geometry vocabulary by putting the words to the tune of "Hokey Pokey." students use the lyrics as a guided reading experience.

Real-life math is really great! In groups, learners measure objects in the classroom. After comparing measurements, they determine a scale and create a blueprint of the classroom. They discuss the purpose of using scale drawings in...
