Point your class in the right direction in plotting points with three activities that give scholars a chance to learn about and practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. They draw figures on the coordinate plane and list out the...

Pupils calculate the area of figures using the formula: length x width = area. They solve area problems using paper squares, geoboards, and real-world problems.

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.

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Students explore about triangles and their relationship to the worlld around them. They are able to identify triangular shapes in their environment. Students are able to communicate to one another their understanding of triangles outside...

Students identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.

Students review angles, sides, and properties of basic shapes. Using a geoboard, they make as many different tirangles as possible.

Fourth graders examine halves of a whole and discover through activities that they must be exactly equal in size. Working with Geoboards and Dot-Paper Squares, the class practices finding halves that are both congruent and incongruent.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Pupils use interactive geoboards to identify simple geometric shapes. In this making triangles instructional activity, students describe the properties associated with geometric shapes. Pupils develop spatial sense and the...

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  For this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.

Sixth graders investigate surface area.  In this surface area lesson, 6th graders design a box of candy that has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  Students are trying to minimize surface area while keeping volume constant. ...

Eighth graders explore congruent and similar figures.  In this eighth grade geometry instructional activity, 8th graders use geoboards to create congruent and similar figures and explore the relationships between the sides and...

Learners differentiate between perfect roots and rational roots. In this algebra lesson, students perform operation using roots. They add, subtract, multiply and divide rational expressions.

Fifth graders identify the area and perimeter of a rectangle. In this perimeter lesson, 5th graders use geoboards and rubber bands to construct various rectangles. Students use the formula to calculate area and perimeter of the...

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

First graders listen as the book, "Try It With Triangles" is read to the class. They name the geometric shapes that they see in the story and view the Shape Vocabulary Cards as they name them from the book. They then cut out the...

Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.

Students create pictures using a geoboard and straws using the X and Y axis.

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are...

Students explore similar objects. They participate in a series of hands-on, multimedia and online activities to examine how the edge length affects the angle measures, perimeters and areas of similar regular polygons. Students find the...

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 use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...
