Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students utilize their handheld and the Angles program to create a non-objective artwork. Images created by famous artists who have utilized angles in their art work are examined.

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson plan, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

Students investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals hung in...

Students identify the different properties of quadrilaterals. For this geometry-lesson, students define parallel sides and diagonals of polygons as they compare to a quadrilateral. They identify the methods to find the angles in a...

Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.

Students are introduced to Guatemala and to the tradition of giant kites. They decorate the kite sail and construct the kite. Students identifies possible causal factors contributing to given historical events.

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Young scholars 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...

Young scholars complete a performance about the heart. In this heart lesson plan, students learn about the heart functions and then perform them.

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to...

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between math and art by examining patterns and polygons.They examine how polygons make up the patterns that form tessellations, and determine tessellations that occur in nature. Finally, they...

In this elementary math worksheet, 4th graders practice solving problems for reviewing the concepts of number sentences, numeration, and geometry.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson plan and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...
