In this instructional activity, students will create a class quilt of nine patch paper quilt blocks using geometry.

Find out how quilting and math go hand in hand when you visit this comprehensive resource. This resource provides a lesson plan for integrating geometry concepts with quilt making.

The instructional tool explores various geometric solids and their properties. Student can manipulate and color the different shapes. Learners examine the edges, faces, and vertices of the different solid figures.

The students will make the connection between 2-D and 3-D shapes using modeling clay and geometric solids and participate in an interactive web lesson plan. Students will make predictions about what 2-D shape they think will be made when...

This is a hands-on instructional activity that will help students explore shapes in their environment. Students will work in diverse groups to complete this activity. Students will make a class book of their findings.This lesson plan was...

In this video segment from Cyberchase, two friends make rock candy while learning about 2-D and 3-D shapes.

Young scholars will identify objects as translucent, transparent, or opaque. Upon seeing the shadow of the opaque object, students will identify the geometric figure created by the shadow.This lesson plan was created as a result of the...

Look at the properties of 2D shapes to see which shapes can belong to the same group. Includes hints.

Classify shapes based on pictures or attributes, such as angle types and side-lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Use this applet to choose a shape to rotate around the origin. This could be used to demonstrate what a rotation is, or students could use it to guess what a certain degree rotation will look like.

In this activity, students learn to calculate the area of geometric shapes. They solve real world problems involving area.

In this activity, students use the pen feature of the calculator to draw geometric shapes in a coordinate plane.

Based on building a hexagon, this activity from the Math Forum collection focuses on using different combinations of pattern blocks to create a hexagon. An online activity, pencil and paper method, literature connections, and a...

In this instructional activity, students observe symmetry, geometric shapes, and angles in two Early American dances, and then choreograph their own dance with symmetrical figures. Media and teaching materials are included.

Practice identifying 3D shapes.

Explore two and three dimensional geometric shapes by creating shapes based on descriptions.

Explroe geometric patterns with this step by step interactive lesson.

Identify the parts of 3D shapes in this assessment.

In this instructional activity, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of various geometric shapes and represent the perimeter with a movement phrase. They will identify the types of angles within each shape. Other students will identify...

The design project examines geometric shapes, color harmonies, and composition. An instructor sheet and student handout are included.

At this site students are encouraged to create a Mondrian style painting which will consist of geometric shapes and primary colors.

Mathematicians in ancient Greece were amazed by mathematical patterns, and wanted to explore and explain them. They began to study mathematics just "for fun" without a specific application in mind. One of these mathematicians, Thales of...

For this lesson, students will identify the characteristics of a quadrilateral. Students will have a chance categorize quadrilaterals into subgroups such as squares, rhombuses, rectangles, and nonregular quadrilaterals. This lesson using...
