Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

In this 3D figure learning exercise, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.

Students derive a formula for the interior degrees in any convex polygon. In this geometric figure lesson, students determine the shapes of various polygons and the number of triangles formed. They use this information to derive the...

In this squares learning exercise, students analyze a group of geometric figures and look for squares. Students color all the squares they see.

In this math activity, students investigate tessellations. Students analyze geometric figures and indicate if the shapes tessellate. Students draw and color their own tessellating pattern.

Fourth graders explore triangles. For this math lesson, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

In this geometric shapes instructional activity, students answer 6 questions about geometric figures. For each question, a diagram of a geometric figure is shown and students are asked to choose the correct name for the figure shown. 

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 explore geometric shapes and patterns. They view the provided paper display of a quilt to identify geometric figures it contains. Afterwards, they draw and color their own quilt on a activity sheet.

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson plan, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks...

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

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...

Encourage your scholars to play with math using this shapes partner game, where players toss a number cube (possibly a die) to determine which geometric shape to draw. The students toss the cube a second time to determine whether they...

How can your draw three-dimensional figures on paper? The lesson shows pupils how to draw orthographic projections of three-dimensional figures composed of cubes. After viewing a PowerPoint presentation, they practice this skill with...

Geometry students will be ecstatic about these engaging and enlightening end-of-the-year projects! Types of project ideas include interviewing a geometer, an ABCs of geometry poster, an engineering lab report, and origami work. 

Students investigate topology. In this Applied Science lesson students explore higher, more abstract mathematics using tangles. Students make topologically related shapes.

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

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...

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...

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...

First graders listen to Shapes and The Greedy Triangle to identify and describe examples of geometric shapes.  For this geometric shapes lesson, look for geometric shapes in real world places.  Students make a mobile of shapes...
