Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

In this planes activity, students consider the position of given vectors and find the vector equation of a plane. They identify the points that lie on a plane and determine the equation of a line through given points. This two-page...

In this exploring similar polygons learning exercise, 10th graders solve 9 various problems that are related to similar polygons. First, they define similar and the symbol used to identify similar to another. Then, students find the...

In this polygons instructional activity, 10th graders identify and define both a polygon and a convex polygon and then, they apply two theorems that involve the interior and exterior angles of a convex polygon. First, they find the sum...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon instructional activity, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

In this math worksheet, students read information about 6 types of polygons and their sides and angles. Students then answer 5 questions about the geometric figures.

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...

Middle schoolers explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Middle schoolers collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order...

New-to-school learners create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares. They use various geometric shapes that when assembled will form a scarecrow, pumpkin, and a crow. Assembly will require sorting...

Give a kindergarten resource sheet to the parents in your classroom to help them track their kids' progress. Activities that kindergartners should master include identifying letters of the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and parts of...

By constructing a watershed model and identifying watershed features in it, they discover how water erosion changes the landscape. As with most watershed modeling activities, this one is costly in terms of time and materials. It is,...

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Junior designers brainstorm the elements that a bedroom might have, such as a bed, television, and dresser. They identify which items are needs and which are desires. They practice measurement skills in the classroom by determining its...

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Third graders create angle eaters where they use circles with cut outs to identify right, obtuse, and acute angles. Students complete 1 angle eater.

It wasn't just the great leaders of ancient Rome that shaped their civilization—the geography of the region played a major role as well. After first identifying major land masses, bodies of water, and city states on a map of Europe,...

Sixth graders explore geometry by utilizing colored cubes in class. In this volume lesson plan, 6th graders identify the different shapes they can create using their colored cubes and identify the formula for finding volume. Students...
