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...

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Complex solutions are not always simple to find. In the fourth lesson of the unit, the class extends their understanding of complex numbers in order to solve and check the solutions to a rational equation presented in the first lesson....

Your learners find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can that are symmetries of the configuration of circles. Rigid transformations of the plane are explored and become more concrete to them as they visualize and execute...

Learn the ins and outs of matrix multiplication. After discovering the commutative property does not apply to matrix multiplication in a previous lesson in the series, pupils now test the associative and distributive properties. The...

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.

The coordinate plane links key geometry and algebra concepts in this approachable but rigorous unit. The class starts by developing the distance formula from the Pythagorean Theorem, then moves to applications of slope. Activities...

Using geoboards, computer programs, and hands-on manipulative materials, elementary schoolers engage in a study of two and three-dimensional geometric shapes. This lesson is chock full of good teaching ideas on the subject, and the...

Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation activity, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...

Investigate the components of vectors and vector addition through geometric representations. Pupils learn the parallelogram rule for adding vectors and demonstrate their understanding graphically. They utilize the correct notation and...

Who knew running a greenhouse required so much math? Amaze future mathematicians and farmers with the amount of unit conversions, ratio and proportional reasoning, and geometric applications involved by having them complete the...

Learners identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.

Students identify polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify and describe polygons. Students create new shapes out of the shapes they are given.

Fifth graders use the guess and check technique to solve a problem involving transformations. They work with a grid and criteria provided by the teacher to solve a sequence with black and white rows.

Students complete geometrical shapes construction activities. For this geometrical concepts lesson, students cut shapes from a worksheet to create a geometrical study activity. Students analyze their shapes and complete a table. Students...

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. For this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

For this linear algebra worksheet, students solve 3 different sets of problems that include rank, dimension, nullspace and range of linear algebra. They determine the relation between the rank of a matrix and the dimension of its range....

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point activity, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Students write diamonte poems that correspond to the double-exposed photograph they created.  In this poetry and multimedia artwork instructional activity, students use the photographic process to create a double-exposed...

Learners explore polygons. In this geometry skills instructional activity, students complete an activity that requires them to solve geometry problems that involve polygons as they piece together geometric shapes. Learners analyze the...

Tenth graders perform reflections on different geometric shapes. In this geometry worksheet,students define the concept of geometric reflections and find the coordinates of the reflection on a coordinate grid.

Explore properties of addition as they relate to matrices. Using graphical representations of vector matrices, scholars test the commutative and associative properties of addition. They determine if the properties are consistent for...

Students observe how certain geometric shapes can be used to make some structures rigid and others flexible. The activity involves construction of a 30-60 right triangle, folding while following directions, and identifying polygons.
