Young scholars create their own drinking vessel from papier-m??ch??. They experiment with different shapes for drinking vessels and different patterns for them.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Explore lines tangent to a circle. In this math lesson, students manipulate circles and lines on a TI calculator. They draw a circle  and analyze perpendicular lines intersecting the circle in only one place. This activity works...

Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

Students study triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, students compare and classify triangles while milling to music. Students will also trade triangles so they can match up with other similar triangles. Triangles are provided.

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

In this geography skills worksheet, students respond to 33 multiple choice questions pertaining to land use and land changes.

Students solve real life scenarios using math. For this geometry lesson, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students create cubist drawings using grids and enlargement.

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Students define a square and connect this information to a square root. In this square root lesson, students make a chart listing square numbers and their roots.

Young scholars create their own Chinese tangrams using in-class direction and prior knowledge in this two-day lesson for the early elementary classroom. Chinese toys are also explored.

Learners use a classification key from a provided worksheet to identify creatures. This task assesses student's abilities to interpret data, make decisions, identify, and classify.

Explains the basic concept of the area of geometric shapes with step-by-step instructions and methods for solving specific problems on your own relating to this topic.

Eighth graders are shown three polygons with equal sides and a circle. They are asked to find the area of each when the perimeter is one unit and to order them from smallest area to largest. Aligns with 8.G.B.7.

In this activity, students learn to calculate the area of geometric shapes. They solve real world problems involving area.

How would you find the area of a polygon or circle? Explore this concept with engaging activities at this test prep site. Here you will find detailed problem solving strategies with accompanying visuals, a reference table with formulas,...

In this activity, students' find the surface area of geometric shapes cut from card paper and relate it to its mass. They use this data to find the surface area of irregularly shaped objects.

A lesson focusing on the area of polygons and the circumference of circles. Engaging, interactive practice worksheet, lesson plan, and related classroom activity complete this lesson.
