Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

In this construction geometric shapes worksheet, student use the software program for instruction then construction shapes and bisect angles for four questions.

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

Need to go over some math concepts with your third graders? Use a series of math posters, featuring vocabulary words in geometry, measurement, fractions, probability, and many other areas of study. Each poster presents the term with an...

Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Young scholars investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape...

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Pupils view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Students construct tangram pieces. Then they make observations and explore patterns with the pieces.

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Young scholars construct the tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions to fold and cut. They make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other. They explore patterns and shapes with...

Students identify a tangram. In this geometry instructional activity, students read Grandfather Tang's Story and retell each story using the tangrams on a flannel board. Students use tangrams to complete an included worksheet.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The instructional activity provides ample opportunity for...

Learners use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Learners study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Learners complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Learners familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.
