Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math instructional activity, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

In this gradient activity, students draw line segments and determine if they are parallel. They plot points on a coordinate plane and calculate the gradient of each created line. This five-page activity contains 8 multi-step problems....

Students use prior knowledge of angle and lines as they conduct an experiment with a rolling marble to determine the shape of a mystery object located under a metal pie tin.

Take foldables to all new heights. Pupils build and fly different types of paper airplanes in the 14th portion of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups collect data on distance and flight time for each plane and compare the data from the...

When will we ever use this? A Pixar movie maker explains to students how math is used in the creation of animated films. The movie maker discusses the importance of coordinate planes, transformations and translations, and...

In this faces, edges, and vertices activity, students write how many faces, edges, and vertices each shape has. Students complete this for 2 plane shapes and 2 2D shapes.

Students view a video about cost of materials. They work together to develop their own backpack taking note of the cost of materials. They create an advertisement to accompany their creation. They share their ideas with the class.

Young mathematicians classify squares according to attributes. They sort squares according to specific attributes. Students explore squares in repeating patterns and order squares according to size. Engaging extension activities are...

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

Young scholars use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or...

For this solid shapes worksheet, students learn to identify solid shape faces. Students identify the solid shapes and the faces in the six word problems.

Students identify and name basic shapes and points. In this elementary geometry lesson, students use printable cut outs to name circles, triangles, and squares before playing a game with them. They play a game of "Pin the Tail on the...

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.

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve for the area of polygons. They are given shaded shapes on a coordinate plane and asked to calculate the area. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this lesson. They make a set of tangrams and use them to compute area. They use...

Some of these beautiful diagrams should help your students understand the connections between pressure and flight. Pressure and density are also discussed, and a number of links are included to give fantastic interactive examples of...

A list of instructions for this exciting Geometry Jeopardy game is included on slide 2. There are a total of 25 clues and 5 categories, including: solids, triangles, lines, angles, and grab bag. Tip: Play this Jeopardy game with your...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

In this plane or plain worksheet, students choose the correct word to complete each sentence. Students choose plane or plain for 8 sentences.
