Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

In this quadrilaterals and other polygons worksheet, students name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.

Students study geometric images and polyhedrons. In this geometry lesson, students complete several activities to learn about geometric shapes and classify polyhedrons from polygons. Students watch a video, complete a web-directed...

In this polygon instructional activity, students determine whether a set of given polygons are irregular or regular. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Young scholars create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

Students examine how to investigate polygons using an instrument of their own construction. They should be able to prove the general formula for the number of degrees in any polygon (including a triangle). Finally they investigate an...

In this congruent figures worksheet, students analyze a geometric shape and choose from the answer box any figures that are congruent to that shape. There are 3 problems.

In this planes worksheet, students solve 5 multiple choice problems. Students determine which planes intersecting create a given line. Students determine which point is coplanar with three other ones.

Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

Young scholars study mirror wells, which are similar to 3-D kalediscopes, but the end is cut off to enable you to look at patterns through them.

In this congruent figures worksheet, learners apply their math skills as they respond to 4 questions that require them to select shapes that are congruent to the 4 given shapes.
