Students identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. In this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

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 explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Learners examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Students prove angles congruent by use of vertical angles definition, subtraction postulate, and transitivity postulate.

Students show the correlation between quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.

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...

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Students utilize online research skills to surf the Internet and complete an online scavenger hunt to find the answers to various mathematical questions.

Students complete a table of values and plot points, as well as construct a graph on a coordinate grid. They construct two graphs on the same coordinate system, and identify the point of intersection. Students represent and record...

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography lesson, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout the...

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Students describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.

Students find the area of two parallelograms. One answer is multiple choice, the other is a short answer. Students graph four lines, and find the area of the parallelogram formed by these lines. Students explain the angle that will give...
