Students consider perimeter and circumference. In this lesson plan on perimeter, students will determine relationships between perimeter and circumference using real life examples.

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.

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...

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

In this polygons and angles activity, 10th graders complete 5 different questions related to polygons and angles, in addition to symmetry and transformations. First, they define polygon and how they are named. Then, students define...

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...

Students complete activities to learn about the common land features in Alaska. For this land study lesson, students study an overhead for permafrost features. Students define ice wedge polygons, thermokarst, and pingos. Students also...

In this polygons worksheet, students put a polygon jigsaw puzzle back together to form the planet Earth. Students put 10 polygons together.

Fourth graders create mandalas. For this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Young scholars choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students participate in a game with different types of polygons. They use triangles to create as many polygons as possible. They also review their colors by having different polygons be a different color.

Twelfth graders apply perimeter measurement to items found in newspapers and calculate the cost in terms of feet or yards. They share answers and explanations with classmates.

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.

In this tessellations worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular tessellation. Then,...

Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.      

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

In this tessellations and transformations activity, 10th graders solve 9 different problems that include various types of tessellations. First, they write examples from history of tessellations and name 3 artists. Then, students define...

Young scholars 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...

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of quadrilaterals and how they are used to create a rectangle for a door. They create a drawing of a quadrilateral while finding the sum of the angles. They practice problems...

In this observation of squares worksheet, students identify the square figures. In this coloring worksheet, students identify six squares.

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this instructional activity. They make a set of tangrams and use them to...

In this math learning exercise, students write down the equation of a plane. Then they create the equation of a line. They also define the lines that are perpendicular.

In this area of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 8 various types of problems. First, they graph each line and find the area of each enclosed triangle. Then, students determine the ordered pairs of each graph illustrated.
