Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

In this squares and rhombi worksheet, 10th graders solve 12 various types of problems that relate to the measurement of a rhombus shown and squares shown. First, they use the square ABCD and the given information to find the value for...

Get lost in the classifications. Using the backdrop of the Bermuda Triangle, pupils classify it by angle and side measures. They also learn information about the triangle and its history.

In this triangles and quadrilaterals instructional activity, 10th graders solve 6 different problems related to using triangles and quadrilaterals in informal geometry. They determine how many lines of symmetry an equilateral triangle...

Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

In this polygons instructional activity, students use the parallel, acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex to describe the five shapes provided.

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

This presentation is intended to accompany an entire unit and covers a wide variety of concepts. Counting on, counting back, symmetry, properties of 2-D shapes, completing symmetrical patterns, and measuring angles are all covered.

Geometry students use hinged mirrors to discover that the regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point. They sketch triangles on paper models of the regular polygons having 3 to 10 sides and compute the...

After learning that the sum of interior angles for triangles is 108 degrees, take it further to show that the sum of angles in any polygon is the same! Using hexagons, pupils practice finding the measure of the six congruent angles. Make...

This unit on connecting algebra and geometry covers a number of topics including worksheets on the distance formula, finding the perimeter and area of polynomials, the slope formula, parallel and perpendicular lines, parallelograms,...

Students analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Students compare design elements in neoclassical and modern architecture. They review knowledge of triangles and quadrilaterals and design a geometric pattern using Pei's polygons They create a city plan using a variety of lines and...
