Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of computing the area using different shapes. They use prior knowledge in order to devise a formula for a parallelogram. Scaffolding is provided by the teacher to find the formula of area for...

Students decorate the congruent faces and edges of boxes in exactly the same way. They teach the terms "congruent," "faces," and "edges" to their parents.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

This MathWorld tutorial provides detailed overviews of the concepts and theorems associated with geometry. Most of the Math World sites are extensive and some require higher math knowledge to understand, links to terms and topics are...

Use the Desmos transformation tools (link at top of page) to complete this scavenger hunt. There are three levels to choose from and solutions are included.

At the Food Market there are a lot of shapes. Help Afia find and name the shapes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this tutorial, students learn about the rules that operate in the rotation of 2-D figures on a coordinate grid. Includes video, lots of examples, review...

Analyze various shapes according to their reflective and rotational symmetries. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
