Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

Double the dimensions, quadruple the surface area. Pairs build similar prisms and compare the ratios of their surface areas and volumes to the ratio of the heights. Given two similar cones, partners determine the ratios of the lateral...

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

Learners explore volume and surface area. In this math lesson plan, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Learners discuss area.

Students view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

All your students have likely played the age-old game "I Spy," and now you can play it in the classroom! A leader (could be you to start) chooses something in the room with a familiar geometric shape. The class begins asking yes or no...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

In this geometric shapes practice worksheet, students examine 7 shapes on the left side of the page and match them with congruent shapes on the right side of the page. An example is included.

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

In this geometric shapes practice worksheet, students respond to 6 geometry questions that require them identify spheres, cubes, rectangles, and pyramids.

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson plan, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional...

In this math worksheet, students build a truncated dodecahedron. This is a solid shape with 12 regular decagonal faces and 20 equilateral triangular faces. Students build this shape to assist in developing their cognitive and geometric...

In this geometry skills worksheet, students examine 3 figures and the information regarding them in order to calculate the volume of each of them.
