In this polygons worksheet, learners name the 6 different colored shapes, choose any 3 polygons to draw and color on a grid, while adding a right angled triangle and a rhombus.

Which shapes are considered quadrilaterals? View and learn that two dimensional shapes with four straight sides are considered quadrilateral. The rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, and trapezium are only few of the fabulous shapes...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson plan, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Leonardo da Vinci is the focus of a hands-on activity that encourages scholars to become inventors. Pupils brainstorm and sketch their idea, compose a detailed depiction using a mirror writing technique, and antique the paper for a...

Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Pupils walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra lesson, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy bands...

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation instructional activity, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry lesson, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines, angles, and...

Students discover building plans and practice reading measurements.  In this architectural design lesson, students investigate the areas of the specific World Trade Center locations that need to be rebuilt and determine the cost....

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. For this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

First graders identify different kinds of lines found in common shapes. They discover ways in which an artist utilizes lines in a painting.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This instructional activity is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.
