Students explore two dimensional geometric figures. They explore the relationships and measurements of geometric figures. Students apply proportion and scaling. They design a city park for students and teenagers.

Students complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

In this math maze worksheet, students navigate their way through a maze using clues and spelling out math vocabulary words. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

For this math vocabulary worksheet, learners use a letter key code to match match vocabulary words to their definitions. A reference web site it given for additional activities.

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

Third graders draw shapes that are congruent. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders use grid paper to draw letters and figures and their congruent partners. They complete a worksheet while working in a whole class setting with the...

Students have fun with math. In this math skills instructional activity, students collaborate to solve the problems presented in this interactive instructional activity. The problems pertain to geometry, measurement, probability, number...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

In this solid shapes worksheet, students learn to identify and solve word problems that use solid shapes. Students solve six word problems about solid shapes.

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 make conjectures of intersecting circles. In this geometry lesson, students observe circles and their position in space. They investigate and observe two and three dimensional objects.

Students study polygons. In this math lesson, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

Students identify properties of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the center of two intersecting circles.They use Cabri software to create circles and move it around to make observation.
