Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Third graders construct and use vocabulary flipbooks to draw and describe three-dimensional figures. They utilize worksheets and access websites imbedded in this plan which help them construct their books.

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.

Students investigate congruent shapes using dot paper to visualize, draw, and duplicate different congruent shapes.

High schoolers explore the concept of polygon properties. In this polygon properties lesson plan, students draw polygons with different numbers of sides such as pentagons, octagons, hexagons, etc. High schoolers identify different...

Learners select a geometric figure and find an example of the figure in their surroundings. They photograph the figure and write a proof to accompany it. They match photos to proofs.

Students recognize lines and corners as properties of geometric figures and identify shapes based on these characteristics. They move through a variety of stations practicing tossing, throwing, tallying and recording combinations of shapes.

Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. In this geometric math lesson, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students will work in...

Fourth graders make models of three-dimensional figures and then use these play dough figures to observe and count the vertices, edges, and faces of the figure.

Learners listen to a poem that includes directions to use geometric figures to complete a creative task.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are presented with a circle which partially covers various geometric shapes.  Students determine which exposed part matches the given shapes.  The one page worksheet contains one problem...

Students analyze floral and geometric design. In this art design instructional activity, students create a circular design art using floral, geometric, or anatomical designs. Students critique their designs as a group and read the...

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....

Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Learners create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Learners use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson that stretches student thinking.

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

Young scholars participate in a guided reading experience by following directions to cut out tangrams. They listen to the directions and cut as the reading progresses.

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...
