In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area of irregular polygons.  The one page worksheet contains three problems.  Solutions are provided.

Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

Students investigate geo-profiling.  For this secondary mathematics lesson, students use geo-profiling to determine the most probable location of a criminal.  Students find the centroid of a polygon where the vertices represent...

Class members complete an assessment task by identifying whether statements about triangles and quadrilaterals are always true, sometimes true, or never true. They then participate in a sorting activity with the same objective.

High schoolers solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.

Math scholars observe and demonstrate how to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders. They analyze pictures of various cylinders on a handout, solve problems on two worksheets independently, and discuss the answers to the...

Pack the lesson into your plans. Young mathematicians learn about packing and optimization with the context of circular paving stones. They use coins to model the paving stones, and then apply knowledge of circles and polygons to...

Students calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders calculate the perimeter and area using the specific formula for that polygon. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Middle schoolers investigate Pi. In this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.

Pupils explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Young geometers need a clear understanding of perimeter, volume, and area. This lesson provides a worksheet to help small groups of learners to calculate various measurements of objects and choose the proper units for measurement. It...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

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...

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Introduce the day's lesson by reading Jack and The Beanstalk by Richard Walker, and then review the concept of area with your class. We don't always need rulers to measure, though! Teach learners how to use their hands to help us measure...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Sixth graders investigate the area of polygons. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders calculate area of prisms using geometric formulas. They work with prisms and other rectangular shapes.

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions activity, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This activity includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Young scholars understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

Fifth graders create math word problems. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders define perimeter and discover how to find the perimeter of a rectangle, a square and a regular polygon. Students write word problems on finding the...

Here is a great science lesson. It extends the concept of vision into the area of optical illusions, perspective, and tessellation. This well-designed plan has tons of great activities, utilizes interesting video, and should lead to a...
