Isn't building with blocks an activity for toddlers? The third lab of a five-part unit teaches young computer scientists how to create their own block instructions for programming. They use these blocks to create geometric figures, spell...

Discover how to program objects to move on a screen. In the second lab of a five-part unit, each learner uses block instructions to program a sprite to follow their mouse (cursor). They investigate how to use these same block...

Class members investigate the effect of a negative scale factor dilation on coordinate shapes as they watch a short video that shows an example of a geometric figure undergoing a dilation with a negative scale factor. Learners then try a...

There are several ways to estimate the area if the curve does not create nice geometric figures. The presenter introduces the idea of using areas of rectangles to estimate the area under the curve. Pupils use four types of Riemann Sums,...

In this solids worksheet, students identify the characteristics of solids. They name solids and determine the number of faces. This three-page worksheet contains seventeen problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

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

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

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...

Intricate details of a modern technology that many of us take for granted in our phones, computers (and some cars) are laid bare in a short but deeply investigative activity. The math behind a seemingly simple GPS device...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

Fifth graders complete activities to investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. In this plane geometry lesson, 5th graders watch a movie about parallel and perpendicular lines. Students work in pairs to describe and draw the lines in...

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students analyze 6 photographs of real life objects. Students write the name of the geometric shape or figure that fits each picture.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve 5 word problems. Each of the problems involves finding one side of a right triangle. Story problems relate the Pythagorean Theorem to building ramps, shadows, and the length of a banner.

In this geometric shape activity, students complete a total of 6 questions about geometric shapes, labeling figures, drawing lines of symmetry, finding right angles, faces and sides.

This PowerPoint provides opportunities for students to explore geometric transformations. Students examine the position of figures in several photographs and identify each pair as reflections, rotations, or translations.

Students recognize the features of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. Students create solid figures with marshmallows and toothpicks.  Students create...

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson plan, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Learners are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each of...

Students identify both two and three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to a teacher led lesson about the island of Puerto Rico. They look at the symbols and shapes on "Puerto Rico Quarter Reverse" on a...

Learners explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Learners identify and draw one line of symmetry in a...

In this geometric shapes learning exercise, students analyze similar shapes and find the missing length using a proportion. There are no examples.

Students complete activities for geometric shapes and multiplication. In this multiplication lesson, students watch a video about carpets and square foot multiplication problems. Students then work in pairs to solve the main problem in...

In this geometry worksheet, students analyze 3 figures made of blocks. For each figure, students study a second image and indicate if it is a top view, front view or either.
