Students are introduced to some basic concepts of geometry. They explain that the definition of a triangle is a figure with three sides, three angles, and three points. Triangles can be named by using three points in their correct sequence.

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

In this math worksheet, students find the area enclosed by the parabola’s arch and the x-axis. They are asked about the highest point of the parabola in terms of a.

In this parabolas learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different problems related to parabolas. First, they define parabola and its information related to graphing one. Then, students write each equation in standard...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

For this geometry worksheet, young mathematicians divide a parallelogram into four, by choosing points along a diagonal.  Students calculate the area of each parallelogram and look for any patterns that may emerge.  The...

Learners identify Euler's method of graphing in this calculus lesson. They approximate values of a function and check their work using EM. They also differentiate equations at an exact point.

In this math worksheet, students state the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Then they evaluate the functions and test them against the theorem.

In this identifying solid figures worksheet, students name each solid figure, write the number of faces, vertices, and edges, and solve a word problem. Students solve seven problems.

In this geometry instructional activity, learners match terms with definitions, and complete short answer questions about polygons and congruency.

Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Pupils investigate the parameters involved with launching a basketball at an angle.  In this motion lesson students predict and sketch graphs that show the motion of a ball toss. 

Students create a movie using pictures and words to illustrate the content of a sonnet. In this illumination of a text lesson, students choose six to twelve words in the sonnet that are vitally important. Students record their text on...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson plan, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders use a straightedge and a compass to construct congruent segments and angles, bisect a segment and an angle, construct perpendicular and parallel lines, construct tangents, circumscribe a circle...

Students identify properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students label polygons as parallelogram or not. They define and label the properties of a kite.

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the answer to a vocabulary questions and then follow the give rules to place the answer in the appropriate place on the crossword grid.   The one page worksheet contains 18...

Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.
