Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

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.

In this math and science worksheet, students read about the process of photosynthesis and plant growth. They determine how a plant's ability to create food is dependent on the surface area of its leaves using geometric calculations. They...

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Eighth graders find the circumference and diameter of several lids, show the relationship of the two measurements and derive the formula for finding the area of a circle. In this area of a circle lesson plan, 8th graders find...

This PowerPoint addresses fifth grade math concepts, focusing mostly on geometry. The interactive math review game is in a "Jeopardy" style format and enables students to revisit the topics in geometry such as polygons, quadrilaterals...

Young scholars find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped...

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

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

Third graders understand what a line of symmetry is and how to draw symmetrically. In this monster symmetry lesson, 3rd graders create an original monster that is symmetrical. Students participate in additional symmetry activities.

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Explore distance and geometric shapes while joining Ivan in his soccer practice!

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

Explains the basic concept of the area of geometric shapes with step-by-step instructions and methods for solving specific problems on your own relating to this topic.

This task challenges a students knowledge of 2-dimensional geometrical shapes to sort shapes and to design a shape that has a given set of attributes.

These activities will allow students to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

This tool allows you to manipulate various geometric solids and investigate their properties.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

An interactive game to find number of edges, surfaces and vertices of different geometric shapes.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometrical attributes to identify and describe shapes.
