Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Students determine the area and perimeter of regular polygons and use that information to conduct a beginning investigation of limits.

In this activity, students find the area of regular polygons using a summation approach and compare the summations with area calculated by Cabri Geometry Application. They also examine patterns of finding area and perimeter as the number...

Twenty-five problems cover the topics of polygons and finding the area for various plane figures. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View...

Learn how to enlarge drawings, figure out how much tile to buy to cover a specific floor, and learn about area and perimeter. These and other lesson plans are provided, including a fun interdisciplinary plan featuring dragons.

This interactive resource provides an example picture of the geometric figure chosen by students to review.
