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...

Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Young scholars identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain...

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

In this 2 and 3 dimensional figures learning exercise, students determine whether given shapes are regular or irregular. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students visit different departments at a local hospital to see how machines help peoples such as the CAT scan machine. They build a model of such a machine that shows how patients are moved in and out of the machine.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learn the terminology used with surface area and volume and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Fifth graders classify triangles. In this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Students identify a tangram. In this geometry instructional activity, students read Grandfather Tang's Story and retell each story using the tangrams on a flannel board. Students use tangrams to complete an included worksheet.

Students classify angles. In this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...

Students study area and quadrilaterals. In this multiplication and area lesson plan, students use Polystrip models to change rectangles to form different parallelograms. Students find the area of the models use a Geometer Sketchpad to...

Students explore various methods for visualizing the results of hydrogen wave function. They observe trends using a polar plot tool and make plots for the first three energy levels of the radial wave function for hydrogen. Students apply...

Students build replicas about nature and sports. In this geometry lesson plan, students build 3D replicas of nature and sports objects in teams.

Learners calculate volume of rectangular prisms and cylinders. They draw and label figures to use the formulas to calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. In addition, they use objects to calculate volume in a hands on activity.

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

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

Learners randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Young scholars study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students use maps to locate information on Egypt, then create their own maps to display knowledge gained from the lesson and Web sites. They recognize, create, and describe the pyramid's geometric shape in three-dimensional forms.

Ninth graders demonstrate application of area, surface, and volume. They apply formulas to a model of the classroom so they can determine the volume and surface area of the classroom.
