Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

In this inverse worksheet, students solve 6 short answer problems. Students find the inverse of a given conditional statement.

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

In this stars rise in the east activity, students use geometry to show how the Earth rotates from west to east and why celestial bodies appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Students draw a figure and label given points in...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

This PowerPoint addresses fifth grade math concepts, focusing mostly on geometry. The interactive math review game is in a "Jeopardy" style format and enables students to revisit the topics in geometry such as polygons, quadrilaterals...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

In this geometry worksheet, students identify given statements for the inverse, converse and contra-positive of a conditional statement. There are 9 questions with an answer key.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

This lesson requires a worksheet that is not connected. It is integral to the lesson.

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this points, lines and planes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 9 various types of problems. First, they name the planes that intersect a figure shown. Then, students determine the points that are collinear and coplanar in...

Young scholars talk about mathematical language.  In this talking about your name lesson, students use the letters in their own name to review math vocabulary and concepts.  

Teach your mathematicians how to identify different polygons based on their diagonals. Relating quadrilaterals to the different number of diagonals formed, students use the TI to create a visual of their shape.

Not particularly coloful, but definitely informative, here is an introductory presentation on polygons. The basic shapes are covered, from triangles to decagons. Special polygons like the trapezoid and the rhombus are also covered. Not...

In this logic worksheet, students answer six multiple choice questions by finding the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of a given conditional statement.

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve a problem involving an isosceles triangle.  The problem appears to be deceptively easy, but instead requires the use of trigonometry to arrive at a correct solution.  The one page...
