Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

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...

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to...

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.  

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Young scholars practice moving different shaped objects through a series of transformations. In groups, they discuss other ways to manipulate the figure to achieve the same results. They solve multiple story problems in the same manner.

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals instructional activity, students discuss Sierpinski's Triangle using an applet. Students discuss the patterns involved with fractals. Students discuss the area of Sierpinski's...

In this triangle worksheet, 6th graders draw and cut out a triangle, cut it into three pieces, then arrange the pieces to make new shapes.

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.

Learners explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Learners analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Students participate in a guided reading experience by following directions to cut out tangrams. They listen to the directions and cut as the reading progresses.

Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

Learners examine Triangle Congruency. In this measurement comparison lesson, students use inductive, deductive and analytical thinking skills to prove triangle congruency. Learners analyze and record their findings on activity worksheets.

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

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

In this math worksheet, students construct a model of a rectangular pyramid by cutting, folding and taping this math net. This is fairly small; teachers may wish to enlarge the page.

In this geometry worksheet, students cut out a rectangular prism net. They cut along the dotted lines as indicated the scissors icon, and fold the piece along the solid lines to form the three-dimensional shape. There are no directions...

In this measuring angles instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 8 various types of problems. First, they use a protractor to find the measure of each angle shown. Then, students find the missing angle measures. They also...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which the area of a trapezoid is calculated. There are no examples and no formula is provided.

In this second grade geometry worksheet, 2nd graders answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric shapes, with the answers available online.

Students use a grille to investigate geometry. The application of the geometric figure, which is square, the students begin the coding of a message. The use of cryptography is used to reinforce algebraic ideas.
