Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Eighth graders review adding and subtracting of integers. The class makes a number line from -10 to 10 and practice adding and subtracting by "acting out" the math problems. Students play a card game using the number cards from a regular...

Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

In this 3D shapes learning exercise, students cut out the 3D shape on the page and fold on the lines to create the correct shape. The learning exercise states which shape should be build with the cut-out.

Students add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show...

Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.

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

Second graders use blocks to show the addition and subtraction of fractions with common denominators. They identify the steps in these functions and complete a worksheet.

Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.

Students discuss recent currents events as a class. Using one of the events, they write a poem about how they feel about the event in question. They choose specific symbols that relate to event and write a poem about it as well. They...

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.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson plan. 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.

Students compete in a scavenger hunt to find twenty-two different geometric shapes in natural objects around the school. They practice identification of each geometric shape using a handout then form small groups to search the school...

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math lesson, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

In this perimeter worksheet, students complete a set of 10 short word problems that define certain measurements and ask for perimeter. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

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

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Second graders identify congruent figures and match shapes using transformation. They work in groups, utilizing a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice identifying congruent shapes.
