Students create tessellation drawings using repeating geometric shapes.

Learners read The Greedy Triangle and discuss geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students list the geo-solids in the world and create a graphic organizer to show where geo-solids exist.

Students examine the role of the United States in the Vietnam War. In this Vietnam War lesson plan, students research primary and secondary sources to find out why the United States was involved in the war and why it was unsuccessful in...

High schoolers research the events of the 1960s and 1970s using the internet. In groups, they draw their own political cartoons about one of the events. They also write a summary about how one specific event of their choosing gave the...

Students analyze U.S. involvement in Vietnam. In this Vietnam War lesson, students listen to their instructor present lectures regarding the Cold War as well as the conflict in Vietnam. Students study U.S. involvement in the armed...

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Third graders recognize and identify geometric shapes, work with manipulatives to reinforce understanding, and create polygons with various angles to display their knowledge of the different types of angles.

Students are encouraged to share, through discussion and writing, their feelings about these and other acts of terrorism, as well related issues such as national security and media coverage of the attacks.

In these shapes worksheets, students identify, trace, and follow the directions to color numbers of plane and space figures. Students complete activities for twelve shapes and figures.

Students explore the shape of things as they bend, twist, and turn. For this early childhood lesson plan, students develop social, creative-thinking, and language skills and spatial awareness as they use their bodies to create geometric...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

Fourth graders practice finding the perimeter of shapes.  In this measurement lesson, 4th graders review the meaning of perimeter and work in groups to draw polygons with differing perimeters.  Students share their polygons...

Students, gauging Public Opinion about Death During War, conduct surveys to gather and report information on a variety of key issues surrounding the war with Iraq. April 9, 2003).

Learners explore current military planning policies involving nuclear weapons, develop an understanding of the history of nuclear weapons and express their opinions about the use of nuclear weapons as part of the United States' military...

Learners experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

Middle schoolers identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing...

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Tenth graders investigate the history of geometry and its different shapes. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders practice seeing three dimensional shapes and explain why there are only five polyhedra. They relate all the new materials...

In this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms learning exercise, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

Students follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

Second graders explore various geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders identify geometric shapes using colors and math problems.

In this 3-D objects and common solids activity, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5 different...

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.
