Students explore tessellations. They are shown a selection of shapes. Students identify shapes that tessellate and justify their answer. Students create their own tessellation.

Students observe a selection of shapes. They identify which shapes will tessellate and justify their answer. Students apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons to create tessellations.

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

Ninth graders experiment with paper folding to create geometrical shapes. Students analyze the Copymaster of the problem. After the students have worked on their own for a while, stop them and discuss.

Fifth graders complete 3 activities centered around percents. In this ratios, proportions and percents lesson plan, 5th graders create designs on grid paper that illustrate a variety of percents, solve percent problems mentally, and use...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders arrange pennies in the form of a triangle. They then remove three pennies to rearrange the shape of the triangle and diagram it. An answer key is provided.

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

Your learners will practice many ways of describing data using coordinate algebra in this unit written to address many Common Core State Standards. Simple examples of different ways to organize data are shared and then practice problems...

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Learners use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson plan, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

In this planes worksheet, students solve 3 short answer problems. Students determine a true statement given lines perpendicular to a plane.

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

Second graders are introduced to geometry by a teacher made puppet called Geo George.

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students find math concepts in every day items. In this math concept instructional activity, students take ten photographs of things they find interesting. They analyze the photographs to find hidden math concepts such as counting,...

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students follow written directions to construct their own tangram. In this tangram lesson, students use their tangram to develop original figures that illustrate characters and/or objects from their favorite nursery rhyme. Students also...

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Students investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Learners examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.
