Middle schoolers work together to create mobiles with different polygons. They research the polygon and list its characteristics. They may present to the class if they chose to.

Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. In this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

In this quadrilaterals and other polygons worksheet, students name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.

Using a similar process from the first lesson plan in the series of finding area approximations, a measurement resource develops the proof of the area of a circle. The problem set contains a derivation of the proof of the...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Use this resource as a way to kick off a lesson on geometric shapes. A hexagon, pentagon, and rectangle are hidden in each slide. Learners have to identify the shapes.

In this tessellations worksheet, students identify shapes such as hexagons, octagons and other regular polygons and determine if the shapes will tessellate. They explore why some regular polygons tessellate while others do not. This...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and...

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's with...

Students match the following 10 shapes by drawing a line from their names to their pictures: circle, square, rectangle, cylinder, cube, sphere, oval, triangle, octagon and hexagon. This geometry activity provides excellent practice for...

Young scholars identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math lesson, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.

In this geometry worksheet, students identify the interior and exterior angles using the angle sum theorem. They identify and solve quadrilaterals using properties of quadrilaterals. There are 12 questions with an answer key.

Second graders create a shape garden. In this polygons lesson, 2nd graders practice making shapes using a geoboard and read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns.  Students also design a shape garden using construction...

Students make patterns with a variety of pattern blocks. Pupils experiment with making tile designs using only one shape by rotating that shape around a point. They enter a contest for creating the best tile design for the new plaza...

In this geometric figures activity, 10th graders solve and complete 11 different word problems. First, they find the area of a regular octagon with a given side. Then, students find the area of each shaded region. They also find the area...

In this geometric figures worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different types of problems that include various figures. First, they find the area of the figures shown if consecutive sides are perpendicular. Then, students find...

In his making shapes and describing their features worksheet, students use rectangles to make a hexagon and an octagon. In this drawing worksheet, students construct a minimum of two patterns.
