Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

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.

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...

In this plane figures learning exercise, students answer questions about the plane figures and their sides and corners. Students draw pictures to help them answer the six problems.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Students explore geometric concepts by working with Tangram Puzzles. For this Tangram challenge lesson, students use problem-solving tasks that involve physical manipulatives. Students select a picture and use all seven pieces...

Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet. 

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Consider how America's founding fathers and their experiences contributed to the rights we all enjoy today. A collection of reading, writing, and collaborative exercises prompt high schoolers to think about the ways their current lives...

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

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,...

Give a kindergarten resource sheet to the parents in your classroom to help them track their kids' progress. Activities that kindergartners should master include identifying letters of the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and parts of...

Everyone wants to have the biggest snow cone possible, so would that be in cone-shaped cup or a more cylinder-style cup? Hungry geometry juniors compute the volume of each in this practical task.

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

First graders find angles in their classroom. In this geometric figures lesson, 1st graders identify, describe and classify angles they see in their world. Students create pictures that contain angles and display them in the room.

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this instructional activity to...

In this angles worksheet, students calculate the size of angles, draw lines of symmetry, and form quadrilaterals in four exercise sets.  The solutions are provided.

Young scholars study polygons. In this math instructional activity, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Young scholars identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

In this basic geometry worksheet, young scholars use basic formulas of geometry to find the area of a polygons, the number of sides of a polygon, and sum of the angles of various polygons. This three-page worksheet contains eight problems.

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Fifth graders study perimeter. In this math lesson, 5th graders use Cheerios to find the perimeter of various polygons. Students discuss how to figure the perimeter of triangles, squares and rectangles.
