Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...

Students explore the concept of translations. In this translations instructional activity, students discuss similarities and differences between images and pre-images. Students apply translations to coordinates of figures. Students use...

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions activity, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This activity includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...

Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. For this transformations lesson, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph paper. Students...

First graders draw and describe various types of polygons. they investigate their own environments for examples of polygons. After reading the book, The Greedy Triangle, they discuss everyday objects that are polygons. They create shape...

Students investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.

Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this instructional activity. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.

Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

For this van Allen Radiation Belts worksheet, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen Belts. They...

Learners investigate the Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Students explore how geometry is used on the composition of artworks by artists from different cultures. This lesson is equally suited for a Math or Art classroom at the late-elementary or early-middle school level.

Can you help Wally the wizard practice some of his tricks while you learn about symmetry and 2D shapes?

In this lesson on plane shapes, students will learn to identify 2D shapes by their attributes, and will apply these shapes to those in the world around them.

Students will complete a series of learning games to explore two-dimensional shapes, such as naming them and completing the shape.

These activities will allow students to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

This task challenges a students knowledge of 2-dimensional geometrical shapes to sort shapes and to design a shape that has a given set of attributes.

On this interactive site, students learn to identify squares, circles, and triangles.

In this series of STEAM activities, students will discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences. Another activity in this module will allow students to identify shapes by applying...
