In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders review polygons and solve for the missing angles of trapezoids and isosceles triangles. There are 10 questions on this instructional activity with an answer key.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students classify angles. In this angles activity, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a...

All triangles have some things in common. Using these properties of triangles, learners find missing angle measures. Scholars use the Angle Sum Property and properties of special triangles throughout the lesson.

Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

Students learn through bubbles. In this science lesson plan, students test the effect of four differently shape wands and three geometric figures in a bubble mixture.

First graders explore eight geometry activities that improve understanding of positional words and shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They help another student who may not understand the concept yet.

Add a sense of excitement to your math class with this race across the country. Using their knowledge of all things circular, young mathematicians work in pairs answering a series of pi-related word problems as they hop from one city to...

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Students create cubist drawings using grids and enlargement.

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students solve four problems in which the same geometric figure is divided in half two different ways.

New-to-school learners create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares. They use various geometric shapes that when assembled will form a scarecrow, pumpkin, and a crow. Assembly will require sorting...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Students explore geometry in Navajo culture. In this geometry lesson, students search for different geometrical shapes in Navajo art. Students then create their own rug or jewelry design using geometrical shapes.

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...
