Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery instructional activity, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side...

Sixth graders explore lines and angles. They create visual representations of lines, rays and angles by drawing them on paper and using a geoboard. On paper, 6th graders write a summary of the characteristics of their representations.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals instructional activity, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Pupils use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson plan.

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Young scholars explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape instructional activity, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Young scholars identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on...

Fifth graders, after seeing Honeycomb examples, complete a Classifying Angles worksheet, Clock worksheet, and Defining Angles worksheet.

Learners create posters about geometric shapes in order to demonstrate their understanding of the different shapes. Students look for pictures in magazines to represent two-dimensional shapes, paste them on a poster, label the shape,...

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

First graders draw and describe various types of polygons. they investigate their own environments for examples of polygons. After reading the book, The Greedy Triangle, they discuss everyday objects that are polygons. They create shape...

Learners 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.

Students use their county's information page to gather information about their community. Using the information, they create graphs from the tables provided and interpret the data. They write a paragraph showing their interpretation of...

Seventh graders become familiar with the history and times which influenced a featured mathematician each month. Through Internet research, they gather information about a different mathematician each month. Students solve mathematical...

Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Sixth graders draw parallel and intersecting lines to observe and examine the characteristics of alternate interior angles, vertical angles, corresponding angles, and supplementary angles. Through observation, they discover the...

[Free Registration/Login Required] The teacher will use this lesson plan flipchart to review geometry plane figures.

Explore the world of Euclidean geometry by understanding euclidean and non-euclidean geometry, the postulates and axioms, and how to apply them while solving problems. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on counting two dimensional shapes in a complex composite figure.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will learn the 6 solid figures and characteristics, including face, edge, and vertices. Students will learn the plane figures when looking at the solid figures. Students will then take a 10...
