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

Learners randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Students observe solids and identify parts that make up the surface area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface are of solids and cones. They find polygons and solids in the real world.

Students assign numbers to describe objects. For this number lesson, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

Students identify the different properties of quadrilaterals. In 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...

Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.

Students examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Learners practice finding the areas and patterns within a square and explore the concept of quadratic functions. They observe and record the area values in a table, plot a graph of Area versus Distance and complete a variety of student...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Explore the world of shapes! After free tangram exploration and pair share time, learners describe various patterns and shapes in both the natural and designed world. They investigate the use of tangrams to create patterns and shapes.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

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...

Young scholars use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words...

Students, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their partner...

Young scholars study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Learners build polygons on their geoboards. For this geometry lesson plan, students build and then draw it on paper and label it. Learners then switch with a partner to try an make a symmetrical shape.

In this similar figures worksheet, students identify corresponding sides and corresponding angles of given polygons.  They identify similar figures.  This three-page worksheet contains 18 problems.

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.

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

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...

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...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  For this transformations lesson, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with describing two...
