Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Students are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Students discover the sum of the interior and exterior angles of several polygons. In this Geometers sketchpad instructional activity, students work in groups to find the stated measurements of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and...

Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

In this geometry of triangles worksheet, students find the length of sides, are, and angle measurement of inscribed triangles, pentagons, and midpoint of a line. This two-page worksheet contains seven problems.

Students explore different shapes and identify them. They make a community map using triangles, rectangles, circles, ovals, squares, pentagons, and hexagons.

In this dodecahedron worksheet, students build a model of a dodecahedron. The pattern for this shape is made up of twelve pentagons. This is a worksheet generator, and the teacher can choose if a sample of the completed shape will be...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons....

In this math worksheet, students build a model of a truncated icosahedron. This shape has 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces. An option to include a preview of the finished model is included for the teacher.

Students select a method of presenting on a given topic by rolling paper dice which have various presentation methods on them. They produce the activity and share it with the class.

In this transformations worksheet, students copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Students finish with two test prep...

In this math worksheet, students create a geometric paper model of a rombicosidodecahedron solid that is considered a challenging project.

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.

Who knew that a possible answer to Earth's energy resource problems was lurking deep beneath the ocean's surface? Part four of a six-part series introduces Earth Science pupils to methane hydrate, a waste product of methanogens. After...

When the sun's rays can't reach the producers in a food web, where does all the energy come from? Extreme environments call for extreme food sources. Young scientists investigate creatures that appear to get their energy from methane...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

The sky is the limit when printing custom 3-D shape templates from this site. Not only can you pick your shape and pattern, there is an option to upload an image for the different sides of the geometric shape. Let your learners have fun...

Discover the damage that was caused by the terrorist attacks on September 11th with your class. They will learn about the events of that day and the litigation process for damages incurred that day. Their research will cover the various...

Bridge the gaps in your knowledge of bridges. Individuals learn about bridge types by building models. The activity introduces beam bridges, arch bridges, truss bridges, and suspension bridges.

Let your learners pick and create a fun shape from this custom template. Shapes range from complex geometric figures to the more common cube and prism. Each page can be labeled with your personal directions. Additional printable listed...
