Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry instructional activity, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of...

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students then...

Students 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...

Young scholars explore Mount Shasta and various locations on Mars to examine ways geographical data can be represented. They study topographic maps and translating data from 2-Dimensions to 3-Dimensions.

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala activity, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students examine the concept of protein structure. They read an article, construct a three-dimensional model of an insulin protein, take a quiz, conduct Internet research, and answer discussion questions.

Students construct three-dimensional solar system mobiles.

Eighth graders create artwork inspired by the work of Victor Vasarely. In this op art lesson, 8th graders explore color theory and color mixing. Students create ten shapes to use in their artwork and over the course of two weeks,...

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Students identify three-dimensional forms in various buildings and construct three-dimensional paper forms.

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Students identify the properties of different polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the slope of a line and calculate the distance between two lines. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.

Students identify different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students name polygons using the number of sides. They calculate distance and slopes using the correct formula.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Bridge the gaps in your knowledge of bridges. Individuals learn about bridge types by building models. The activity introduces beam bridges, arch bridges, truss bridges, and suspension bridges.

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).
