Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.

In this geometric patterns worksheet, students learn to solve problems that use geometric patterns and solid figures. Students solve six word problems.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson plan, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Domain can be a tricky topic, especially when you relate it to context, but here is a lesson that provides concrete examples of discrete situations and those that are continuous. It also addresses where the input values should begin and...

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

In 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 naming shapes activity, students write the name of given shapes, then write why they named shapes as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

In this math worksheet, students examine 4 pictures of 3D objects and write the name of each. Students then study 3 pictures and figure the number of faces, edges and vertices on each.

Students create posters about geometric shapes in order to demonstrate their understanding of the different shapes. Students look for pictures in magazines to represent two-dimensional shapes, paste them on a poster, label the shape,...

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this instructional activity on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This...

Students define the importance of the properties of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilaterals lesson plan, students identify the general properties of and compare and contrast the properties of convex and concave quadrilaterals. Students...

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D...

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

In this nets of figures worksheet, students determine which given shapes will make a shown net, then name the shapes uses. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

High schoolers graph polygons using the name and number of sides. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They relate the formula to different polygons and shapes.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.
