Learners identify and use the computer keyboard to complete simple tasks. Students eliminate the use of the computer mouse to do simple jobs. They use keys that are used alone, keys that specify object labels, Keys that result in objects...

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Young scholars measure and analyze angles. In this trigonometry activity, students measure angles and distances use non-traditional techniques. They identify the different ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.

First graders associate events and objects with day or night. They create a word bank and use is as a reference to create sentences about the sun. They conduct sun-themed experiments and art projects.

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

Fifth graders gain an appreciation for mandalas in many cultures. Compare and contrast designs from many cultures. They see geometric design in mandalas and become aware of symmetrical balance and radial balance. They create a mandala...

Second graders explore various geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders identify geometric shapes using colors and math problems.

First graders explore the math concept of geometric shapes. In this plane shapes and solid shapes lesson, 1st graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students assign numbers to describe objects. In 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 recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Students explore the concept of polygon properties. In this polygon properties lesson, students draw polygons with different numbers of sides such as pentagons, octagons, hexagons, etc. Students identify different geometric shapes in the...

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...

Learners watch the movie Holes. They list 5 key events from Holes and use a pyramid to rank the events in order of importance to the story. They determine cultural differences between the character and themselves.

Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Investigate the geometric definitions of triangles, focusing upon equilateral, isosceles, right, and scalene with detailed drawings and appropriate formulas for each. This site has links to more information on triangles.

The students will construct an Euler line and demonstrate it is an Euler line by "wiggling" the triangle to guarantee the correct centers remain on the line.

In this activity students explore the tangent ratio. Students construct a right triangle using perpendicular lines, and a line that forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. When students construct the hypotenuse line it is very important...

Discovering the properties of constructions, seeing proofs in action, and viewing problems come to life here with this wonderful use of technology in the classroom. Single steps are explained and illustrated one at a time so that the...

This task builds on a previous one called ''Right triangles inscribed in circles I.'' Here learners are asked to construct a tangent line to a circle from a point outside of the circle. Aligns with G-C.A.4.

This site offers numerous activities for middle school and high school students to explore using Geometer's Sketch Pad.
