Upper graders label four triangles and fill in the labels correctly. They draw three original triangles and answer the questions about them.

Students investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order...

Students identify the themes of different books by classifying their genre.  In this genre lesson, students examine a specific animal by reading both a nonfiction and fiction book about the species.  Students compare the...

In this angles worksheet, learners answer multiple choice questions about angles on their own and angles inside shapes. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Third graders explore 3-D materials by making a macquette that could be used for a playgroup sculpture. The students design and execute papier-mâché dinosaurs. They develop painting skills and connect art to science.

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Pupils explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of right-brain...

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

In this body plans and adaptations worksheet, students will review the different types of symmetry found in organisms. Students will identify body parts as found on either the ventral or dorsal part of an animal. Then students will look...

Students explain what is near and far in respect to the horizon line on a 2-d surface. They blend and use oil pastels correctly and explain the concept of a horizon line.

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.

Pupils use a brief history of the growth and decline of the anthracite region in the state to create a photograph and map "peak shaped" time line. They practice map and photo analysis strategies to "read" photographs and maps.

In this quadrilaterals and other polygons instructional activity, students name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.

Students complete activities to learn a phenomenological approach to polygons. In this polygons lesson, students use the materials in the directions to make demonstration models. Students use a wooden wagon model and liquid to learn...

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

For this geometry worksheet, 11th graders calculate the volume of there dimensional shapes using the formula for cylinders. They are given the height and the base and asked to calculate the volume. There are 4 problems.

In this quadrilaterals and polygons worksheet, students solve the problems using quadrilaterals and other polygons. Students solve six problems.

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

Sixth graders create decorative Egyptian collars, adorned with sequins, glitter, and beads, which incorporate repetitive designs.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this instructional activity on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This...

For this solid figures worksheet, students choose a shape from the box that fits the bar graph totals for the faces, edges, and vertices. Students then complete the last bar graph using the one unused shape.

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