Second graders, given geometric instructions, try to create their own Geo George puppet.

Students study and view pictures of Native American totem poles on the internet. They create totem poles using PowerPoint that represent their family histories using symbols to designate historic events.

Students take a sample of fish and try to determine how many fish are in the sea.  In this scientific sampling lesson, students explore the way scientists measure large areas of samples. Students record the distribution in a quadrant.

Second graders write in journals, recording personal thoughts about what they learned and/or something they are wondering about.

Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems using linear equations and algebraic symbols. There is one problem with an answer key.

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

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 instructional activity, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

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.

Pupils identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. For 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,

High schoolers 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.

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...

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics instructional activity, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create...

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

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

Students listen to a read aloud of The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau finding examples of symmetry in the illustrations in the book.

Students 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. Students examine steel sculptures...

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, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Learners find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

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