This resource provides 5 different worksheets on the topic of polygons and symmetry. These worksheets cover rotational symmetry, lines of symmetry, symmetry of regular polygons, special quadiralaterals, and polygon transformation. The...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

In this triangles worksheet, students identify and name 3 different types of triangles. First, they determine the number of right triangles in the figure shown on the sheet. Then, students determine the number of equilateral triangles...

In this triangle and angle worksheet, 10th graders identify 36 different angles and triangles illustrated on the sheet. First, they define the vocabulary to include equilateral, scalene, right, and isosceles triangle. In addition, they...

In this classifying shapes using Venn diagrams worksheet, students draw examples of isosceles, right, and equilateral triangles in the proper sections of the first graphic organizer. They draw polygons, both regular and quadrilaterals,...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students define angles and sides of right triangles. They calculate the area and surface area using formulas derived by the Pythagorean Theorem.

In this mental math worksheet, students use mental math to find the surface area and determine nets of the given shape. They use an information sheet as an aide to find the answer to 30 questions.

Students discover the difference between triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, students discuss the different types of triangles, then draw the three different types of triangles. The teacher will draw, or model, how to draw the...

In this math learning exercise, learners analyze 15 pictures of geometric figures and match them to the names which are provided in a word bank. Students tell how many lines of symmetry each shape has.

Students model and solve a real-world problem by constructing the centroid of a triangle. They explore relationships of the medians of a triangle and investigate how the centroid partitions each of the medians. Students investigate...

In this types of triangles worksheet, learners solve 6 short answer problems. Students identify the type of triangle being described according to side length or angle measure.

Students create different angles and shapes by using different lengths of straws. In this geometry straws lesson plan, students glue straws onto paper and define what they have made.

In this geometry review game worksheet, students use the provided game cards and calling cards to play a Bingo-like game. Students learn geometric terms while playing a group game.

In this understanding triangles worksheet, students read 6 pages of examples and explanations about identifying triangles, determining length of sides and degrees of angles, including the hypotenuse, then answer 28 questions, answers...

In this area and volume worksheet, students find the lateral area, total area, and volume of given prisms. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems. Answers to each problem are provided on page two.

In this formulas worksheet, students write the area, perimeter, and volume formulas of 17 2D and 3D polygons.  Students list properties of various types of triangles and the metric conversions for metric units.

Young scholars identify polygons.  In this polygon people activity, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The activity may be extended by allowing...

Fifth graders write and illustrate books to make a class library of math term books. They utilize vocabulary associated with geometry to make their books. For example, one character may be, Mr. A Cute.

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...

Fourth graders identify and label different types of polygons in real life situations. Using a digital camera, they take pictures of polygons on the school grounds, tally the number of shapes found, and answer discussion questions.

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. For this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference...

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Students identify triangles in the real world and construct their own triangle using drinking straws. They explore abstract triangles and find additional geometric shapes such as trapezoids. Students discuss similar shapes and examine...
