Students explore geometry in Navajo culture. In this geometry lesson, students search for different geometrical shapes in Navajo art. Students then create their own rug or jewelry design using geometrical shapes.

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the area of complex polygons. They solve word problems using rates and distances.

Learners construct a variety of right triangles using a right-angled set square, cutting corners from pieces of paper or cardboard, and using dynamic geometry software. They measure the sides of these various right triangles and record...

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

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...

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

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...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders identify the missing angles using the polygons sum conjecture. They measure exterior and interior angles using their angle theorems. There are 63 problems.

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

In this angles in polygons worksheet, students determine the value of a missing angle measure. They find the value of interior angles and exterior angles. Polygons include triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. This...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Fourth graders participate in a activity that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The activity also uses geometry and relates...

In this angles of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the first half of...

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this instructional activity. They make a set of tangrams and use them to...

Off they go — launching rockets is fun. The lesson plan contains templates to build paper rockets that can be launched from a PVC pipe launcher. Individuals or groups build the rockets and determine the shapes for their fins. Included...

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

Youngsters add some shapes to this castle drawing before analyzing its geometry. They count the circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares. The objectives here include drawing, recognizing, and counting shapes as well as writing numbers...
