Sixth grade young scholars: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Learners use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons....

Students identify the location of coordinate pairs of an image. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformation and identify the image and pre-image point of location. They apply the concept of fractals to...

Learners observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson plan, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Students identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on their bingo card.

Tenth graders investigate the volume of a cylinder.  In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders create three-dimensional cylinders and use a ruler to determine the dimensions.  The instructional activity progresses...

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Young scholars explore scientific observations by examining the parts of a microscope. In this optics lesson plan, students discuss the importance of a focal point and focal distance when utilizing an optical device such as a microscope....

Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Fifth graders, after seeing Honeycomb examples, complete a Classifying Angles worksheet, Clock worksheet, and Defining Angles worksheet.
