Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Young scholars participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

In this math worksheet, young scholars find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson plan.

Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. For this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Class members complete an assessment task by identifying whether statements about triangles and quadrilaterals are always true, sometimes true, or never true. They then participate in a sorting activity with the same objective.

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. For this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Students duplicate the method that Archimedes used to estimate the value of pi. They complete a data table and find the approximate values of pi for three sets of polygons.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.
