In this polynominoes worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 different problems relating to various types of polynominoes, such as triominoes and tetrominoes. First, they determine how many different types of triominoes they can locate and draw...

In this pentagram instructional activity, learners examine a pentagram and number the intersection of lines.  They number the crosspoints in such a way that the sum of the numbers on each line are equal.  This one-page...

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Learners review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

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...
