Students identify polygons and develop spatial and fractional relationships and geometric concepts by using ancient Chinese puzzle of tangrams. They develop an appreciation of the folktale by identifying its elements and then writing...

Eighth graders classify geometric figures.  In this polygon lesson, 8th graders identify given geometric figures.  They compare and contrast different polygons.  Students name line segments, identify parallel lines, and...

Students cut and design a pretend beach after reading Faith Ringold's "Tar Beach" book.

For this math worksheet, students find the area of all the different types of geometric shapes from the memory. They write all the formulas and explain the meanings of the variables.

Seventh graders develop strategies for finding the perimeter and area of large geometric figures. Through lecture and guided practice, 7th graders practice the strategy of dividing a geometric shape into smaller more manageable shapes...

In this flow chart learning exercise, students learn to use flow charts for classification of numbers, geometric shapes and animals. Students follow the directions and fill out flow charts to work out 20 answers. This is an online...

In this mixed math review worksheet, 5th graders solve a fraction problem, find the difference between decimals, and determine a true statement about a geometric shape. They choose the answer to multiple choice questions.

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Young scholars identify polygons and calculate perimeter. For this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Students study geometric images and polyhedrons. In this geometry lesson, students complete several activities to learn about geometric shapes and classify polyhedrons from polygons. Students watch a video, complete a web-directed...

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. For this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students explore geometric concepts by working with Tangram Puzzles. In this Tangram challenge lesson plan, students use problem-solving tasks that involve physical manipulatives. Students select a picture and use all seven...

Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

In this comparing geometric figures activity, students continue patterns and observe circles. In this problem solving activity, students answer seven questions.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Pupils examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

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

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.
