Questions related to math vocabulary from a large variety of categories for 4th graders are displayed throughout this Jeopardy game. Concepts covered include angles, shapes, computation terms, statistics, and place value.

Students build and create using math. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.

Young scholars create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Learners use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.

If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, is the quadrilateral a parallelogram? This task asks learners to determine the answer and to support their answer with a proof. The resource includes a commentary for...

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

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...

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.

Learners examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

High schoolers differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the angles of triangles using the similarity theorem. They apply concepts of triangles to the real world.

For this quadrilaterals worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include identifying various quadrilaterals. First, they indicate whether the statements are true or false for each. Then, students determine...

Young scholars differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing side and angle of a triangle. They identify the different ratio and proportion of the sides of a triangle.

Pupils work in pairs to investigate what it takes to prove that two triangles are similar. They work through various shortcuts to find which are enough to show a similarity relationship between the triangles. Small groups work with the...

Students view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Seventh graders use block letter writing to help classify polygons. They use their own names which helps to keep them engaged during the lesson. Finally, 7th graders play a classification game naming different polygons.

In this triangles instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 23 various types of problems. First, they match the triangle description with the most specific name and write the letter on the line provided. Then, students...

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,...

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...

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 right triangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 14 various types of problems. First, they find the perimeter of the isosceles trapezoid shown. Then, students find the measures of each marked side of a right...

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.

Middle schoolers cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

For this properties of quadrilaterals worksheet, students use the properties of quadrilaterals to find the perimeter, angle measurement or length of a missing side of a given polygon. Examples and explanations of the properties are...
