In this area of polygons worksheet, high schoolers solve 7 short answer and multiple choice questions about area.  Students find the area of triangles given base and height, or points in the coordinate plane.

Students examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

Young scholars conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting...

For this geometry/math worksheet, students name eight shapes by circling the name that best describes it. Students select the correct answer from 4 choices.

In this coordinate geometry activity, 4th graders read the coordinates on the grid and write the name of the shape at that location.

In this geometry worksheet, students identify diagrams as either lines, line segments, rays or points, write definitions for each and match the diagrams to their definitions.

In this identifying shapes worksheet, students tell which shapes in sets are named, choosing from cube, triangle, cone or sphere. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this curves worksheet, students identify the curves in the shapes given as being either closed or open. Students complete 5 problems total.

Students explore language arts by participating in a shape identification activity. In this geometry shape instructional activity, students discuss the vocabulary terms used to describe the location of an object. Students complete a...

For this problem solving worksheet, 3rd graders look at 6 different geometry shapes and determine what decimal number, signified by the arrow, is illustrated.

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra lesson, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy bands...

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

A page right out of the Holt Geometry book. Use a graphing calculator and graph paper to explore transformations with matrices.  

Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then create a...

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...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Students compare and discuss characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional shapes. They construct 3-dimensional paper star figures, imaginatively customizing them with art tools and craft materials. Students analyze their...

Youngsters review different geometric figures and shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, pupils use formulas to calculate area, perimeter, circumference and volume of geometric shapes. They calculate the surface area also.

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Young scholars explore the many applications of mathematics in their environment . They formulate and solve mathematics problems. Students describe geometric elements, shapes and relationships. Young scholars use technology such as...

Develop a more precise definition of similar. The lesson begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to arrive at a...
