Learners identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Young scholars use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance...

Seventh graders translate word sentences to algebraic expressions. In groups of three, 7th graders determine the number of times their heart beats in fifteen seconds. Using this data, they calculate the heartbeats per minute, in five...

Students investigate the concept of symmetry by using various examples and performing independent practice with scaffolding provided by the teacher. They review reflection symmetry and cover the new rotation symmetry using manipuatives.

Students explore a variety of shapes and angles and create mobiles with information about a selected polygon. Both common and "not-so common" polygons are examined.

Fifth graders identify different angles according to its type that is determined according to taking a measurement of the degree. They also explore the vocabulary related to the concept.

Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.

Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.

Learners engage in a lesson in order to create blueprints to design an original floorplan. They use graphing paper and drawing tools to demonstrate knowledge of the lesson objectives. Students label and use the right kind of proportions...

Learners interpret how to communicate information and ideas in ways that are appropriate to the purpose and audience through spoken, written, and graphic means of expression. They use information-gathering techniques, analyze and...

Students read ancient Greek texts to explore ancient healing practices and compare them to those of modern times. They explain Greek healing practices for wounds.

Students create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use it...

Students view different pieces of art from artist Candida Alvarez. They discuss what the art means to them. They create their own mobiles showing what they would like out of their education.

Students will sharpen their geometry skills when they make these holiday gifts. This site offers hands-on activities with geometry skills interwoven.

The objective of this lesson is for students to, "explore spatial relationships by determining the area of various shapes and creating tessellation patterns." Using a variety of hands-on activities, students apply concepts of geometry,...

This lesson plan provides a cross-curricular lesson plan for second grade students. Teachers will read Elino R J. Pinczes' One Hundred Hungry Ants and then engage the students in hands-on division activities that connect to the book.

These fifteen different activities have students applying their geometry skills and knowledge. Activities are hands-on and contain possible solutions.

Lesson plans on how to incorporate plane geometry into an elementary classroom. Activities are hands-on, use manipulatives, and incorporate real world experiences.

Origami (ori-folding, kami-paper) is the traditional Japanese art of folding paper. Learners will discover relationships between shapes as they are actively engaged in this hands on geometry activity to learn basic geometric shapes,...

A thorough look at the extensive uses of geoboards in the classroom. Links are listed which give introductory information on geoboards - for teachers new to using them. Then, lesson plans are provided for using geoboards in teaching...

This two-part geometry lesson plan has students identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Students engage in hands-on activities including identifying shapes in the classroom, creating patterns with shapes, identifying...
