Students use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and take...

Students investigate the geometric shape of a box. They apply different construction methods and materials to create a three dimensional box. The uses of a box are covered and the measurements taken to consider its uses. Students...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

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...

In this interpretation of vectors and linear systems activity, students describe the geometric appearance of two vectors. They add the two vectors and sketch the sum as well as the vectors to determine the commutativity of vector...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

In this perimeter activity, students find the perimeter of 8 geometric shapes. There are instructions and samples on the page.

In this angle worksheet, learners find the value for a given variable. They use similar figures, alternate interior angles, side angle side, and other geometric theorems and proofs to determine the value of the given variable. This...

Students study the Renaissance and the important art from the period. In this Renaissance lesson, students discuss the black plague and religion during the Renaissance. Students read the Renaissance worksheet and learn vocabulary words...

In this online math worksheet, students calculate the value of a variety of angles based on a geometric design. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Young scholars discover the characteristics of polyhedra. Through hands-on activities and interactive videos, students investigate and retrieve information on polyhedra and crystal structures. Young scholars study angles and symmetry....

Elementary schoolers examine the attributes of triangles. In this triangle lesson, learners compare regular triangles and right triangles. They explore vertices and angles and investigate obtuse and acute angles. Pupils draw multiple...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...

Students graph polygons using the name and number of sides. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They relate the formula to different polygons and shapes.

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson plan, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Pupils engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of quadrilaterals and how they are used to create a rectangle for a door. They create a drawing of a quadrilateral while finding the sum of the angles. They practice problems...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Pupils use technology to graph and compare angles. In this geometry lesson, students range of motion in the environment. They identify the missing parts of polygons using similarity and congruence.
