Young scholars listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students explore the Math Dictionary for Kids site (see Weblinks). (They will discover the second set of terms is synonyms for the first set.) The teacher observes students' progress and provides feedback to students as they work at the...

Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid.

Students analyze midsegments of triangles in this lesson. They use Cabri Jr. software to observe the relationships between interior angles and midsegments of triangles. Specific instructions for creating this lesson in Cabri Jr. are...

In this geometry worksheet, students answer ten multiple choice facts about circles. The questions include finding the diameter, area, and radius of a circle.

Students plant a garden and keep track of it. In this geometrical garden lesson, students collect data from their garden twice a week. They graph their finding and figure out how many square feet of growing space each person needs...

Students investigate the geometric shape of a box. They apply different construction methods and materials to create a three dimensional box. The uses of a box are covered and the measurements taken to consider its uses. Students...

Students use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and take...

In this math and logic worksheet, students solve 2 problems in which they examine a picture of 5 squares in a particular formation. Students build this with toothpicks. Students are instructed to move a specified number of toothpicks to...

In this math worksheet, students investigate a solid mass that is suspended. Then they find the integral to help define its placement in space.

Students identify triangles in the real world and construct their own triangle using drinking straws. They explore abstract triangles and find additional geometric shapes such as trapezoids. Students discuss similar shapes and examine...

Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Seventh graders explore the characteristics of three-dimensional figures. They compare the nets of figures. Students describe the relationship between the nets draw and the solid. They identify the vertices, edges and faces of the...

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Young scholars use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular...

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students create lines and shapes with a compass and a straight edge. In this geometry lesson, students investigate square roots, irrational numbers and spirals. They explore nature to see the shapes representing mathematics and geometric...

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.
