Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Young scholars recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of young scholars will extend the study of polygons...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

In this math worksheet, students use a paper model to build a truncated icosidodecahedron. The worksheet includes a model that is to be cut out and put together by the student. There is an option to include a small preview of the...

In this math worksheet, students build a model of a truncated icosahedron. This shape has 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces. An option to include a preview of the finished model is included for the teacher.

For this dodecahedron worksheet, students build a model of a dodecahedron. The pattern for this shape is made up of twelve pentagons. This is a worksheet generator, and the teacher can choose if a sample of the completed shape will be...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Young scholars make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets lesson plan, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the net....

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

Fourth graders identify and describe lines, shapes, and solids using formal geometric language. They use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer and outline of polygons.

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Students discover the characteristics of polyhedra. Through hands-on activities and interactive videos, students investigate and retrieve information on polyhedra and crystal structures. Students study angles and symmetry. They...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry instructional activity, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of...

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality instructional activity,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th...
