The second day of a two-part activity on motion introduces the class to circular motion. Pupils learn how to incorporate a time parameter into the rotational matrix transformations they already know. The 24th installment in the 32-part...

Fifth graders participate in a review game of geometry topics. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders use the "Eggspert" interactive classroom game system to review the geometry skills taught that week. Students work in teams to complete...

First graders explore eight geometry activities that improve understanding of positional words and shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They help another student who may not understand the concept yet.

Seventh graders explore basic geometric definitions involving angles, area, and circumference. To reinforce basic geometric concepts, they play a "lightning Flash" card game. Students discuss chores or jobs that require the use of...

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

First graders review the placement of positional words and shapes. In groups, they travel between eight centers throughout the classroom in which they participate in various activities. They focus on concepts that are related to Geometry.

Assist your class with each angle of geometry as they use exterior angles to form linear pairs with adjacent interior angles. They cover multiple vocabulary terms and work practice problems, complete with justifications, before...

What do Sherlock Holmes and geometry have in common? Why, it is a matter of deductive reasoning as the class learns how to justify each step of a problem. Pupils then present a known fact to ensure that their decision is correct.

Youngsters explore visual arts by participating in a geometry identification activity. They read the book The Very Busy Spider and identify the techniques spiders use to create webs. Have you ever noticed that their webs are geometric...

Young scholars hunt for hidden geometric shapes and compare the properties of various shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students play a game of finding squares, circles, rectangles, and ovals that have been hidden around the...

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

In this 2-D shapes lesson, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson!

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Fifth graders review the concepts of fractions: improper, mixed, proper, like denominator addition. They then review the concepts of creating pie graphs using a percent circle using manipulatives.

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Pupils review angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students become chess players on a floor chess board. When they make a move, they need to identify the angle of their movement. In the lesson plan it says the "degree" of the...

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

Tenth graders explore parallel and perpendicular lines.  In this geometry activity, 10th graders investigate the relationships associated with parallel lines and transversals, perpendicular lines, and the angles formed by these...

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops, and...

Students classify angles. In this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...
