Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math instructional activity, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

In this second grade geometry worksheet, 2nd graders answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric shapes, with the answers available online.

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

Individuals discover how to draw cubes on triangle-dot paper. They use cubes to build structures and draw corresponding isometric drawings on dot paper in the second lesson of the series of five. The activity also introduces the concept...

In this solid figures worksheet, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.

In this rotations worksheet, students complete problems having to do with shapes and their rotations, reflections, symmetry, translations, and more. Students complete 6 problems.

Students identify different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students name polygons using the number of sides. They calculate distance and slopes using the correct formula.

After determining the volume of various drinking glasses , class members evaluate sample responses to the same task to identify errors in reasoning.

In this transformations/translation worksheet, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

Middle schoolers discover the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. They find the length of an arc of a circle.Students use estimation strategies in real-world applications to predict results (i.e.,...

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson plan, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students...

Young scholars use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or...

Students participate in a unit on triangles. Through the unit they explore different way to make basic shapes using triangles. They also examine the basic properties of triangles and the relationships among basic geometrical shapes in...

Young scholars use maps to locate information on Egypt, then create their own maps to display knowledge gained from the instructional activity and Web sites. They recognize, create, and describe the pyramid's geometric shape in...

Learners study facial symmetry. They explore lines of symmetry, and create illustrations with multiple lines of symmetry.

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

This is a nice hands-on activity where young geometers create trapezoids and calculate their area by looking at areas of quadrilaterals and triangles. 

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this lesson, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The website listed...
