Young scholars investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry instructional activity, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

Fifth graders classify triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson plan gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Young scholars identify clues that tell them about where, when, who and what they are seeing in art images. They work, step by step, through the layers of meaning, delving more deeply into these layers with each work as they progress...

Pupils circumscribe a circle about a triangle. They construct a triangle using Cabri Jr and then circumscribe it. They then use knowledge of perpendicular bisectors and circumcenters to locate the center of the circle and then...

Learners revisit midpoint and segments by graphing on the TI or computer. This activity can be done with pencil and paper, but is more interactive if it is done on a TI-navigator.

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

Here is a challenging and thought-provoking math worksheet. In it, learners work together to construct a variety of boxes of different sizes to see if doubling the size of a box really means it can hold twice as much stuff as the...

Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.

Students examine the idea of "regularity" as it pertains to geometry.  For this geometry lesson students complete several assignments that are part of trihedral angles and regular polyhedrons.

Learners view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Learners use pegboards and string to create more...

In this congruency worksheet, students find congruency in everyday packaging on everyday items and answer questions about them. Students answer 4 questions.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson plan, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Pupils 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.

Young scholars investigate visual arts by researching art on the Internet. In this expressionism lesson, students identify several famous artworks on-line based on self expression and discuss the techniques. Young scholars examine steel...

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

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...
