Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning instructional activity, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

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

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area activity, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

In this congruency worksheet, students find congruency in everyday packaging on everyday items and answer questions about them. Students answer 4 questions.

Pupils identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. For this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface area,

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

High schoolers identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

Learners calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Fourth graders discuss the various attributes of quadrilaterals. In groups, they use the attributes to sort quadrilaterals into different classes and a hierarchy. They review the new vocabulary and attributes with a partner to end the...

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students create a scrapbook. For this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

Students 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 create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

In this math vocabulary instructional activity, students complete 15 multiple choice problems, choosing the correct definition for a set of math terms. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Students investigate visual arts by researching art on the Internet. In this expressionism lesson, students identify several famous artworks on-line based on self expression and discuss the techniques. Students examine steel sculptures...

Students study basic concepts necessary to produce beautiful, professional looking visual compositions (which can then be used in professional television productions).
