Geometry is everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Those skillful mathematicians discuss shapes and then come up with a well-researched list of shapes seen in everyday applications. They put their knowledge of shapes to work as each small...

A cross-curricular approach to prepositions includes a geometry aspect as learners label eight pictures of shapes to indicate their positioning. Each picture has two shapes, some with arrows to show which shape's location scholars are...

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

In this geometry worksheet, students match 5 shapes to several terms, determine the radius and diameter from 2 diagrams, and find the area and perimeter of 3 problems.

It can be so much fun to learn about new shapes! Kindergartners are shown a series of different shapes; each one is a different color, size, or orientation. They look at the shapes and discuss that no matter their color or size, a square...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Using their knowledge of right triangles, pupils find out how far a ship is from a light house. Class members determine how far around the world a ship would be sailing at a constant speed.

Geometric patterns illuminate this colorful and interactive PowerPoint. First, patterns must be identified. Next, students discern the missing color in a block pattern. Lastly, they observe a figure to determine how many blocks are used....

In this math learning exercise, students find the area of shapes by counting the number of grid paper squares inside each shape. This is a learning exercise generator, the teacher controls the complexity of the shapes as well as the grid...

In this problem solving instructional activity, students calculate the missing angles and lengths to 4 different shapes. Students place their answers in the boxes provided.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

In this online math worksheet, students consider a variety of scenarios which include elements of geometry and probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

In this area learning exercise, students find the area of ten figures that are drawn on a coordinate grid. Five of the shapes are triangles. Five shapes are irregular quadrilaterals.

In this geometry skills practice worksheet, students respond to 8 questions that require them to identify vertices and name the pictured geometric figures.

In this geometry worksheet, students look at a set of 6 shapes, then write whether the curves in the sets are closed or open curves.

In this geometry practice worksheet, students practice their problem solving skills as they reveal whether 5 shapes have open or closed curves.

In this geometry worksheet, students answer 5 questions, finding shapes using a figure with labeled line segments running through it. A reference website is given for additional resources.

In this identifying shapes as open or closed worksheet, 2nd graders look at eight shapes and check the box for open shape or closed shape.

In this counting shapes instructional activity, students count how many squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles they can count in the picture of a house. Students count 45 shapes total.

In this shapes worksheet, students name a set of 4 shapes, then write why they named them as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes and figures worksheet, students name shape and figures, then write why they named it as such. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
