In this tangrams activity, 10th graders solve 7 different problems related to designing tangrams. First, they trace each of the figures shown on the sheet. Then, students cut out the pieces and rearrange them to form each figure and...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based instructional activity, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Third graders are exposed to finding the area of polygons by decomposing figures and recomposing them into rectangles. This strategy allows children to expand on their prior knowledge of constructing shapes by rearranging parts into...

Help your classes find the significance in this lesson plan! Learners analyze the probability of Diff values. They then determine if the difference is significant based on their probability of occurrence. 

In this chemical bonds worksheet, students review the different types of bonds, Lewis dot structures, ions, and molecule shapes. This worksheet has 10 matching, 17 multiple choice, and 3 drawing questions.

First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids lesson, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture, weight, size,...

In this volume problem instructional activity, students determine the volume of various objects. They compare similar objects and determine the percent of increase and decrease of the surface area and volume. This one-page instructional...

In this molecules worksheet, students answer post lab questions about types of bonds, factors that determine polarity and molecular geometry. They calculate electronegativity differences in atoms and determine the types of bonds between...

Students design their own mix and match animals, using lesson framework that emphasizes transformation, explore differences between clay and model magic, experiment with clay, and shape their animals into 3D sculptures.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders study comprehensive facts pertaining to volume and measurement of geometric, three-dimensional figures. Learners solve for 59 problems showing their work.

High schoolers establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.

Students find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Students 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.

In this math worksheet, students study 5 basic geometric shapes. Students write a description for each, naming the shape, telling about the edges, the lengths and the corners.

In this geometry/shapes worksheet, students select the shape in a row that is similar to a shape that begins the row, 4 rows total.

Students investigate the concepts related to observing two dimensional objects. They also build three dimensional objects using the two dimensional objects. The students give an oral or written explanation for how the pieces fit together...

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area activity, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Students take a field trip to a local park or beach to collect objects. They practice counting the objects and put them into categories according to type of shape like a cone, cylinder, etc... As an extension to the activity students...

For this problem solving worksheet about frogs, students complete two pages of activities. Students figure out how a frog can hop between lily pads following the rules given. Students draw all possible paths.

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

In this geometry skills learning exercise, students respond to 4 questions that require them to examine geometric figures and change them to solid figures and plane figures.

Students create a 3-D topographic map.  In this map building instructional activity, students use cardboard to create a topographic map of the Catskills mountain region.

Students explore pyramids. In this math instructional activity, students discuss where they have seen examples of pyramids. Students classify pyramids as three-dimensional figures and identify their attributes.

Eighth graders calculate surface area of 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 8th graders analyze cubes and prisms by finding their area and surface area. They compare the data of these two shapes.
