In this fraction activity, young scholars manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great activity for getting...

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Can you find the line of symmetry? That's what your students will demonstrate by completing this worksheet. The task gets increasingly difficult as shapes are included that have one line of symmetry, no lines of symmetry, and multiple...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

Students make an accordion book to show information that is associated with a particular learning event. In this accordion book lesson, students follow paper-folding directions to make the book. They fill the book with key facts and...

Potty humor is always a big hit with the school-age crowd, and potty algebra takes this topic to a whole new level. Here the class develops a model that connects the dimensions (radii, paper thickness, and length of paper) of a...

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding and...

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

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.

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...

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. For this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.

Triangle centers and the segments that create them easily become an exercise in memorization, without the help of engaging applications like this lesson. Here the class investigates the measure of center that is equidistant to the three...

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

Students analyze lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in designs. They practice dividing a shape along its line(s) of symmetry and discuss the relationship between lines of symmetry and number of sides as well as rotations.

Third graders create a pumpkin lantern. They work in groups to illustrate the growth of a pumpkin seed. Students are asked what they think of when they see the color orange. They choice one person from the group to get a piece of...

Young scholars study polygons. In this math lesson, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Young scholars identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson plan, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.
