In this solid figures worksheet, students read the word problems about the solid figures and find the figure that follows the rule.

Students investigate the geometric shape of a box. They apply different construction methods and materials to create a three dimensional box. The uses of a box are covered and the measurements taken to consider its uses. Students...

Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

Students listen for specific information during summary presentations. They practice giving feedback on given topic according to a set of standards. The speaker reports to the rest of class from a report and listeners determine if...

Second graders, in groups, write quilt reports.

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

Students investigate the culturally artistic value of quilts, the importance of trade in meeting basic needs, and the conservation of natural resources.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Learners investigate architecture and construction by building a home from cardboard tubes.  In this housing lesson, students collaborate in groups to plan and create buildings they can fit in made from cardboard tubes, newspaper...

Students explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of...

Students find circles in a classroom. In this circles lesson plan, students find five circles throughout the classroom and learn about basic geometric shapes.

Students explore measurements of a circle. In this lesson about circumference and radius, students practice calculating measurements of a circle. Students estimate, calculate, and practice with graphing all while learning how to find...

Students access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates instructional activity, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Students complete several practice examples.

Young scholars investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar and sort...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. For this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students play a game with mats of different shapes and colors spread out over a playing area. As a shape and color is called out students run the the corresponding mat and stand on it.

Students measure the circumference of a cylinder. In this cylinder lesson plan, students use round container lids and flexible rectangles to measure the circumference of the cylinder. They put the shapes together to make their own...

In this online math worksheet, students consider a variety of scenarios which include elements of geometry and probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Students build towers from recycled materials. in this building lesson, students build the highest tower they can from varied materials. They focus on shapes and which items should go on the bottom to make a strong base. 

Students 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.
