Blocks in a Sock
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...
Curated OER
Tessellation
In this math worksheet, students investigate tessellations. Students analyze geometric figures and indicate if the shapes tessellate. Students draw and color their own tessellating pattern.
Curated OER
Complete The Pattern
Students are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give to a...
Curated OER
Tangrams
Fifth graders explore the context of how and when to use tangrams in geometry. They create and draw a number of different geometric figures using tangrams. Students work on their visual spatial skills.
Curated OER
Symme"tree"
Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.
Curated OER
Symmetrical Journals
Students identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.
Curated OER
Exploring Lines of Symmetry
Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The instructional activity is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of...
Curated OER
Geometry in Tessellations
Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...
Curated OER
Perimeter and Area
Seventh graders develop strategies for finding the perimeter and area of large geometric figures. Through lecture and guided practice, 7th graders practice the strategy of dividing a geometric shape into smaller more manageable shapes...
Curated OER
Shading Fractions
For this math worksheet, students examine 6 geometric figures and a fraction for each. Students divide the shape and shade the correct number of parts to illustrate the fraction.
Curated OER
Double, Double: Looking at the Effect of Change on Perimeter, Area and Volume
Students explore perimeter, volume, and area. In this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Students investigate the results when the...

Perfect Patterns- Completing Patterns Worksheet
In this completing patterns activity, students complete patterns with geometric shapes and the numbers 1-10. They color the geometric shapes with at repeating patterns.
Curated OER
The Function Box
Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...
Curated OER
Measurement
Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D shapes. Students...
