Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Students explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern instructional activity, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern...

Students create a circle using the taxi-cab metric. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They identify the idea of geometric shapes and how they come about.

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.

Students explore the concept of coordinate proofs. For this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Students discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...

Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.

Third graders in a 3rd grade math class make connections from prior instruction and mastery to solve problems in new learning situations. Using logical thinking and prior knowledge to solve current math problems is the focus of this...

In this geometry learning exercise, students identify items as either lines, line segments or rays by checking the appropriate box beneath each figure.

In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.

Travel the world from the comfort of your classroom with a lesson plan that features Google Earth. High schoolers follow a series of steps to locate places all over the earth with sets of coordinates. Additionally, they measure the...

Navajo art incorporates many fascinating shapes and designs. In this shapes instructional activity, students explore how shapes may be combined to create art and architecture. They also discover shapes in the world around them.

Students explore characteristics of shapes by making and using tangram sets. They discover how the tangram pieces are related to one another, and determine how many different combinations of the triangles, squares, and parallelograms in...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...

Students study about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets. They understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of...

Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Second graders, given geometric instructions, try to create their own Geo George puppet.

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.
