Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Students investigate solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

Young scholars choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

In this math worksheet, students fill in the missing boxes while investigating the concept of vectors. They determine if two vectors are orthogonal or parallel.

In this geometry worksheet, learners draw a line from each of four shape on the left to the matching shape on the right. They match colors and shapes which include a diamond, a circle, a triangle and a square.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

Students use a grille to investigate geometry. The application of the geometric figure, which is square, the students begin the coding of a message. The use of cryptography is used to reinforce algebraic ideas.

Seventh graders investigate the concepts related to the geometry of treehouses that focuses on angles that are similar and congruent. They conduct class discussion in terms of looking at three dimensional shapes that are represented in...

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Pupils define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Seventh graders explore the characteristics of three-dimensional figures. They compare the nets of figures. Students describe the relationship between the nets draw and the solid. They identify the vertices, edges and faces of the...

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Uncover the properties of translations through this exploratory lesson. Learners apply vectors to describe and verify transformations in the second installment of a series of 18. It provides multiple opportunities to practice this...

In this identifying transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders look at three figures and choose reflected, rotated or translated to indicate how it has been transformed.

For this interpretation of vectors and linear systems worksheet, students describe the geometric appearance of two vectors. They add the two vectors and sketch the sum as well as the vectors to determine the commutativity of vector...

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

In this faces and vertices worksheet, students determine which figures in pairs have more or less faces and vertices and name the figures. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Learners are asked to visualize three-dimensional figures and apply this visualization to problem solving.

In this geometry worksheet, students look at a set of figures and determine the amount of faces, vertices and edges of each, then name each figure. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Fourth graders find the volume of solids. In groups, 4th graders use spinners to determine the dimensions of solids. They construct the shapes, creating a model of the figure Students count the cubes in the model to determine the...
