Pupils define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry activity, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

In this geometry worksheet, students look at a set of figures and determine the amount of faces, vertices and edges of each, then name each figure. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this geometry skills worksheet, students solve 4 problems that require them to calculate volume and surface area of geometric figures. In 2 problems students work backwards to calculate length.

In this similar-congruent worksheet, students determine measures of unknown angles, draw congruent shapes and determine whether shapes are congruent. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Young scholars identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.

In this math worksheet, students examine 6 geometric figures and a fraction for each. Students divide the shape and shade the correct number of parts to illustrate the fraction.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Get hundreds of interactive activity plans using the Zome Modeling System. Among dozens of lessons, a first exposure to similar triangles can be very visual for the learner. Here, young geometers explore the number of different shapes...

Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...

The Poverty Point Culture of Louisiana is described in detail within four slides of this six-slide PowerPoint. Four detailed paragraphs help describe the economic legacy that existed in Louisiana. A table, map, and photo are included to...

Students reconstruct an ancient Greek sculpture using various geometric forms and explore different geometric forms. They create an abstract human form out of geometric shapes and create other representations out of the same shapes.

In this math worksheet, students describe the properties of various 3D shapes. Students tell about faces, edges and corners and name the geometric figures.

Students use a monochromatic palate, select shades and tints for a selected hue, or select complimentary or analogous colors for a quilt design. They design quilt squares using basic geometric shapes, repetition, balance, and proportion.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Ever played 20 Questions? A similar game helps young learners practice asking and answering yes-or-no questions. Spread out several objects, preferably all similar with slight variations (buttons or coins would work well). A leader...

Students explore what happens when geometric figures are transformed on the coordinate plane. They work in pairs, moving geometric shapes in the plane, and formalize their rules as functions.

Leading the students to draw a representation of ellipses of planets, this handout will help understanding the planet movement around the sun.  There are ten questions about the analysis of those orbits and a conclusino specifically...

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...

Young mathematicians connect vectors to geometric shapes by watching a video that expresses vectors in relation to the sides of geometric figures. They then apply what they learned by completing a worksheet of practice questions.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Fourth graders design a figure using the given geometric shapes from a set of tangrams. They manipulate common shapes to analyze and make new figures. They complete a worksheet associated with the lesson.

In this shapes and figures worksheet, students name shape and figures, then write why they named it as such. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this thinking skills worksheet, students read three clues to figure out which of three pictures of geometric shapes is the correct one. Students draw an X on each shape that doesn't fit the clues. Students circle the correct shape....
