Fourth graders apply knowledge of the elements of design and hand building techniques in clay to illustrate the concept of negative space by cutting shapes out of the form to create an intricate pattern.

Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Pupils calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Students find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

Students are introduced to the topic of area. In groups, they share various techniques to help them identify different shapes and work together to calculate the area. They use this same knowledge to determine the area of animal tracks...

Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Learners perform a review assignment in 3 portions to review chemistry compounds, formulas, and equations. The assignment consists of several different portions that can be used as assessments. The majority of the lesson plan is composed...

Students create a creature using Amaco cloud clay. In this sculpting instructional activity, students use clay, toothpicks, and clay modeling tools to create a unique clay creature. Students shape the clay into a four-legged animal.

Students work with a set of objects to set up both quantitative and qualitative classification systems. As a group, students follow an example to design and complete two classification systems using a set of objects provided. ...

Young scholars identify the properties of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the slope of a line and calculate the distance between two lines. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.

Learners identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.

Students differentiate between inscribed quadrilaterals and parallelograms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the shaped of the polygons when it is inscribed inside of a circle. They calculate the missing angles...

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

In this rotations worksheet, students complete problems having to do with shapes and their rotations, reflections, symmetry, translations, and more. Students complete 6 problems.

Students use current knowledge to predict the meaning of line of symmetry. They explore symmetry using mirrors.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.
