Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various figures...

First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids lesson, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture, weight, size,...

In this area instructional activity, students solve 6 short answer problems. Students find the area of a figure composed of regular polygons such as triangles, rectangles, squares, etc given a sketch of the figure.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

In this data management and probability applications activity, 7th graders solve 13 different types of problems that include finding the mean, median, mode, and range of each set of values, as well as, solving a number of word problems....

Students examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

In this polygons worksheet, high schoolers identify polygons that contain given parameters.  They write definitions of polygons.  Students find the measurement of exterior and interior angles of regular polygons.  This...

Eighth graders classify geometric figures.  In this polygon lesson, 8th graders identify given geometric figures.  They compare and contrast different polygons.  Students name line segments, identify parallel lines, and...
