Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Fifth graders explore shapes. They recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Pupils discuss the properties and criteria for each shape they find in real life and construct a Kid Pix project using pictures of the...

Students explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson plan, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Students construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math Keys:...

This extensive and far-reaching collection of worksheets puts a new twist on many basic concepts. Learners use multiplication to trace a path from one point to another, tile a plane by converting between improper and proper fractions,...

Intricate details of a modern technology that many of us take for granted in our phones, computers (and some cars) are laid bare in a short but deeply investigative activity. The math behind a seemingly simple GPS device...

Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Students sort through pictures of food to create patterns as they pertain to geometry. In this geometric patterns lesson, students relate to food as concrete objects that represent geometric patterns. Students recognize and...

In this geometry worksheet, students use the correct units to measure distance, length, diameter and height. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

In this geometry instructional activity, students figure out the distance between 2 cities using the distance formulas. They apply flow charts to their problems and solutions to identify and clarify their steps. There are 40 questions.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given polygons on a coordinate plane. They calculate the area and perimeter of each shape, by counting the length of each square on the graph.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Learners describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.

Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

Learners explore the methods of creating maps. They create a map of Animas River Park using a compass and measuring tape, develop a single map from the team map sections, and devise another map of the Animas River Park using a GPS unit.

Students culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale...

Leaves fall off the tree in the autumn, but why do they change colors? The interactive covers the role of chlorophyll and photosynthesis. It also explains both carotenoids and anthocyanins.

Protons and neutrons and electrons, oh my! Physical science scholars get hands-on with interactive atomic modeling. Starting with a simple helium atom, participants create and name ions, then build isotopes. Questions throughout the...

Students explore the many applications of mathematics in their environment . They formulate and solve mathematics problems. Students describe geometric elements, shapes and relationships. Students use technology such as digital cameras...

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,...
