Middle schoolers discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build...

Students explore free-motion machine quilting through three exercises. They enhance patterns, make their own patterns and stitch a realistic quilted drawing. Students create a color wheel and develop a variety of methods that enable them...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson plan, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks...

In this lengths, areas and shapes learning exercise, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

Eighth graders are shown a blueprint of a house and must determine the amount of carpet needed. In groups, they calculate the area of rectangles and triangles and apply them to the shapes in the blueprint. To end the lesson plan, they...

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

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...

In this polygons worksheet, students name the 6 different colored shapes, choose any 3 polygons to draw and color on a grid, while adding a right angled triangle and a rhombus.

Learners complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

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...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

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.

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 are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

In this math worksheet, high schoolers are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

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...

In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students determine the biological effects and the applications of nuclear chemistry. Then students use Einstein's theory of special relativity to complete 3 problems.

In this polygon worksheet, students find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon. They determine the perimeter of equilateral figures, identify concave and convex figures and explore the characteristics of equilateral, equiangular...

Students derive a formula for the interior degrees in any convex polygon. In this geometric figure lesson, students determine the shapes of various polygons and the number of triangles formed. They use this information to derive the...

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