Young environmentally conscious mathematicians solve a variety of problems related to the central theme of uncovering illegal logging activities. They determine a base camp based on given constraints, investigate logging activities and...

Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this...

Express dance moves mathematically. Scholars dissect dance routines and express them using mathematical notation, such as translations and rotations. They use video clips to investigate seven different dance genres.

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of 12 polygons. Each shape is drawn on a grid. The area of each square on the grid is given. Problems are all multiple choice.

In this math who am I worksheet, students read geometric shapes and math terms clues, fill in the blanks, and check their answers by circling each third letter in boxes with answers. Students write eight answers.

In this reflections worksheet, students reflect three sided and four sided shapes across a graph. Students complete 6 reflection problems.

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.

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...

Young scholars brainstorm different kinds of shapes. They then draw them on the paper and write the name of the shape on the back and then assemble the shapes to make a "monster". Students make up a survey about the monster including its...

Students begin the activity by identifying what a polygon is and hypothesizing how many struts (diagonals) it would take to make a polygon rigid. They watch a "Magic School Bus" episode then experiment with various shapes to make a...

In this math worksheet, students tell if each of ten given shapes are polygons. Students select from two choices (polygon/not polygon). The on line link scores the quiz as students enter their answers.

In this math worksheet, students classify the six polygons. Then they answer the questions related to the geometric properties of the shapes.

For this polygons worksheet, students use the parallel, acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex to describe the five shapes provided.

Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson plan exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then...

Students engage in a lesson plan that is about the concept of polygons and focuses upon finding the area. They use formulas provided in the lesson plan in order to solve problems given by the teacher for independent practice. Geometric...

In this polynominoes instructional activity, students solve 9 different types of polynominoes problems. First, they identify that a polynominoe is a polygon made from squares of the same size and connected to each square. Then, students...

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Upper graders label four triangles and fill in the labels correctly. They draw three original triangles and answer the questions about them.

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...
