In this number recognition activity, students read the descriptions of the math terms and try to guess what each term is. Students circle the third letter in the boxes to check their answers.

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

Middle schoolers cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

Students study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

What type of quadrilateral is that? Discover the difference between the types of quadrilaterals. Small groups investigate types of quadrilaterals using geometry software to find their properties. To keep track of the different...

In this different dice worksheet, 9th graders read about the use of octahedrons as dice, review the probability with cubical dice, then answer the question of probability when rolling 2 octahedral dice.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Learners explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

In this math vocabulary activity, students choose which multiple choice answer best defines twenty-five mathematical terms. Students place their answers on the lines provided.

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

In this shapes definitions activity, students match a set of descriptions with their correct shape names, 10 total, then answer a set of 4 additional questions. Answers included on page 2.

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may view the correct answers.

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.

This lesson focuses on polygons; a polygon is a closed, flat shape that has only straight sides. Polygons can have any number of sides and angles, but the sides cannot be curved.

Get the definition and properties of a polygon. Then explore such topics as: 1) types of polygon 2) area 3) Perimeter 4) angles associated with polygons and 5) names of polygons.

This tutorial with video and slideshow components investigate the characteristics of polygons as well as how to calculate the interior and exterior angles of any polygon. It offers two PowerPoint presentations and two videos that feature...

Classify shapes based on pictures or attributes, such as angle types and side-lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice using your graphing calculator for measuring and constructing polygons and other plane figures. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly under...

This lesson focuses on quadrilaterals which can fall into multiple categories based on the number of sides and the angles.
