Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

Using the Twist™ application, elementary schoolers design their dream room. They follow the prescribed steps to calculate width, length, perimeter, and surface area in order to create a 2-dimensional representation of their dream room...

Investigate the properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral. In this properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral lesson, students use...

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

Learners analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationship

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics instructional activity, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

First graders develop an understanding of the importance of the flag. In this flag lesson plan, 1st graders research the history of the flag.  Students understanding of how the flag fosters pride in Americans.  Students...

In this geometry activity, 6th graders study comprehensive facts pertaining to volume and measurement of geometric, three-dimensional figures. Students solve for 59 problems showing their work.

High schoolers find the volume of spheres. In this geometry activity, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Students work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. For this telling time lesson, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles using a compass....

Students classify snowflake crystals using geometric descriptors. They hypothesize about the temperatures at which the snowflakes were formed using a temperature/shape chart. They collect and examine snowflakes before drawing and...

Fourth graders examine faces, edges, and vertices. In this geometry activity, 4th graders participate in classroom activities that require them to compare geometric shapes, figures, and models.

Students make conjectures of intersecting circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students observe circles and their position in space. They investigate and observe two and three dimensional objects.

High schoolers create a new playground design to present to elementary students during Playground safety week. They review basic geometry to use in observing and recording the equipment on a local playground. They research playground...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.
