Students explore magnetism. In this magnet instructional activity, students assemble a magnet pendulum. Students observe the pendulum noting the location of the magnetic poles as they construct the pendulum so that the free-swinging...

In this analytic geometry worksheet, students solve 12 word problems. Problems cover identifying the locus of an equation as well as the locus.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

In this similar figure worksheet, students use similar figures and indirect measurement to determine distance.  They use proportions of similar figures to determine scale figures.  This two-page worksheet contains 8...

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders identify the missing angles using the polygons sum conjecture. They measure exterior and interior angles using their angle theorems. There are 63 problems.

Fifth graders write and illustrate books to make a class library of math term books. They utilize vocabulary associated with geometry to make their books. For example, one character may be, Mr. A Cute.

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...

Fourth graders identify and label different types of polygons in real life situations. Using a digital camera, they take pictures of polygons on the school grounds, tally the number of shapes found, and answer discussion questions.

Students complete a variety of activities surrounding minerals, crystals, and mineralogy. They locate common minerals on a world map, complete a lab in which they identify the chemical and physical properties of various minerals, etc.

In these area, perimeter, and volume worksheets, learners calculate to find the area, perimeter, or volume of the various figures. Students complete 30 problems.

In this mental math worksheet, students use mental math to find the surface area and determine nets of the given shape. They use an information sheet as an aide to find the answer to 30 questions.

Learners construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Tenth graders identify homogeneous tessellations. In this model-based lesson, 10th graders make and identify homogeneous tessellations, both regular and semi-regular.

Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.

For this secondary mathematics worksheet, learners assess their readiness for the SAT test.  The one page, interactive worksheet contains ten problems.  Solutions are not provided. 

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

This lesson will provide practice problems that involve solving for unknown angle and side measures of equilateral triangles. It is 5 of 5 in the series titled "Equilateral Triangle Interior Angles Practice Problems."

This lesson will define scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles. It is 1 of 5 in the series titled "Scalene, Isosceles, and Equilateral Triangles."

Use interactive geometry software to construct an equilateral triangle that maintains its shape even if you move its vertices.

Three circles are mutually tangent. Students are asked to find the total area of the circles plus the area inside where they meet. Students will need to know how to calculate the area of a circle, a sector of a circle, and an equilateral...

Learn about the properties of 2-D shapes: circles, triangles, polygons, and quadrilaterals. Includes information, video, and examples about each, with games and quizzes for reinforcement.
