Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Sixth grade young scholars: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface area,

Students identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

Fourth graders discuss the various attributes of quadrilaterals. In groups, they use the attributes to sort quadrilaterals into different classes and a hierarchy. They review the new vocabulary and attributes with a partner to end the...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Young scholars study basic concepts necessary to produce beautiful, professional looking visual compositions (which can then be used in professional television productions).

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

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...

Students research art by identifying the work of Keith Haring. In this sculpting lesson, students utilize the web to examine sculptures and drawings in the style of Keith Haring. Students utilize sculpting wire, foil, pencils, glue and...

Students differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry activity, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Young scholars investigate visual arts by researching art on the Internet. In this expressionism lesson, students identify several famous artworks on-line based on self expression and discuss the techniques. Young scholars examine steel...

Students investigate angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between angles and the number of sides in a polygon. They differentiate between sumilarity anf congruence in angles and sides.

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.

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Young scholars study related addition and subtraction facts. For this math lesson, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Young scholars use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Pupils create and classify different types of triangles using an online geo-board. They explore the concepts of similar and congruent as they discover how to draw similar and congruent triangles.

Students build and create using math. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.

Young scholars identify the different parts of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They work with irrational and rational roots.

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students use a letter key code to match match vocabulary words to their definitions. A reference web site it given for additional activities.

In this math maze worksheet, students navigate their way through a maze using clues and spelling out math vocabulary words. A reference web site is included for additional activities.
