High schoolers 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.

In this matching shapes to names worksheet, students identify names of plane figures. In this matching worksheet, students solve eight problems.

In this classifying shapes using Venn diagrams worksheet, students draw examples of isosceles, right, and equilateral triangles in the proper sections of the first graphic organizer. They draw polygons, both regular and quadrilaterals,...

I would consider this an outline and not a complete lesson. It would take a little work on your part because you would need to look on the internet for examples of Ojibwe art to show your pupils. They could explore the patterns that the...

Second graders study movements. In this dance instructional activity, 2nd graders draw patterns selecting one to represent through movement with their body.

Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

In this quilt patterns worksheet, 7th graders identify and complete 6 different problems that include various patterns using shapes. First, they fill the square with the polygons listed on the left as stated. Then, students use...

In this area worksheet, students compute the area of circles, parallelograms and rectangles.  This one-page worksheet contains 5 multiple-choice problems.  Answers are provided in this online worksheet.

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of rectangles.  They find the width when given the area.  Students graph rectangles and solve word problems involving rectangles.  This three-page worksheet...

Students explore geometry using a Rubik's Cube. In this 2-D and 3-D shapes lesson, students use the Rubik's Cube to find the center, edge and corner pieces. Students then find the dimensions of the Rubik's Cube and read the solution...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

An excellent lesson plan awaits your young scientists! In it, learners are invited to explore the world of pulleys, levers, and planes; simple machines that make lifting heavy things much, much easier. They watch video, and engage in...

Young scholars identify two dimensional shapes in the school environment. In this basic shapes activity, students watch a video about rectangles and squares. Young scholars find examples shapes in their classroom and draw them. Students...

In this word shapes worksheet, students put words into the word shapes above and below the center line. Students put 16 words into the word shapes on 6 pages.

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D shapes.  Students use...

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Geometers graph figure translations, find coordinates for transformed figures, and write rules to describe transformations presented. The 2-page worksheet contains 14 problems, with answer key attached.

Are your geometry whizzes learning about angles and shapes? This online learning exercise gives 10 multiple choice questions based on images and word problems. Concepts include deducting angle degree, classifying shapes, and identifying...

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

For this reflection of shapes worksheet, learners graph images on a coordinate plane. They reflect the image and sketch it on the graph. They write a rule to describe the transformation. This four-page worksheet contains 14 problems....

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

Discover different dimensions with paper folding. Pupils first read about zero, one, two, and three dimensions, and then learn about the fourth dimension, time. They then use origami to create models of shapes in three dimensions and use...
