Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

Creating a triangles is as easy as 5, 6, 7. Using a ruler and compass to measure off lengths, a short video shows how to construct a triangle with three specific side lengths. The example creates a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm, 6...

Two sides and an angle ... a triangle it makes. Given the measure to two sides and the angle between them, the narrator of a short video shows how to draw a triangle with a ruler and protractor. Pupils use handouts to practice the newly...

The narrator of a short video explains the steps in constructing a triangle given the measure of two angles and the length of the side between the angles. The resource provides opportunities for pupils to practice the skill with two...

In this division worksheet, students figure out which shapes represent which single digit number in a long division problem. Students then answer 3 questions.

Students identify and form a pattern out of 2-D shapes, then transfer this pattern into creating placemats.

Students apply their enthusiasm for imaginary play to create their own imaginary play space. In this novice architectural design lesson, students arrange and glue pre-cut foam shapes to a cardboard base to set up their play space. In...

For this shapes worksheet, students name a set of 4 shapes, then write why they named them as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes and figures activity, students name shape and figures, then write why they named it as such. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this ion rocket and orbits worksheet, students read about the spiral orbit the Dawn spacecraft took due to its ion rocket motor. Students solve 3 problems including finding the path taken by the spacecraft, determining the total path...

Young scholars explore space science by completing a worksheet in class. In this astronomy lesson, students discuss and identify star patterns in the night sky and relate these patterns to the approximate time they appear. Young scholars...

Young scholars discuss and work with lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, students start with a warm up activity on metric conversion. They talk about the definition of symmetry and reflection before completing a worksheet.

Sixth graders explore different polygons. For this polygon lesson, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Students examine Holocaust memorials to discover expressive power of shapes, practice creating simple geometric shapes or forms, and practice calculating ratios, area, and/or volume.

In this geometry skills worksheet, students solve 2 problems that require them to calculate the area of complex shapes. Students should show their work in the space provided.

In this measurement worksheet, students measure the length and height of shapes given to them. Students measure a rectangle, triangle, and circle.

In this subtraction worksheet, students are solve 6 fill in the blank subtraction problems where they are given a group of 10 to 18 figures, some of which are crossed out. Students must write a subtraction equation to match each group of...

Go beyond the basic formulas and uncover the surface area and volume of 3-D shapes with this comprehensive and organized activity packet. The problems include the basic formula computations while also challenging your learners to derive...

Young mathematicians find the area and perimeter of shaded shapes on a grid of unit squares. The sheets challenge class members to find the volume of various solid prisms. Each questions also includes the total value of suggest...

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

Here is an excellent cross-curricular lesson. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

In order to better understand how to locate a plane of symmetry in 3-dimensional objects, learners create a dance. The class reviews dance and math symmetry, then they practice making symmetrical shapes and movements with a partner....

In this math worksheet, students give the volume of 5 shapes in cubic centimetres. Each shape has the cubic centimetres clearly marked.
