Young scholars complete activities to learn about the common land features in Alaska. In this land study lesson plan, students study an overhead for permafrost features. Young scholars define ice wedge polygons, thermokarst, and pingos....

For this Octagon Puzzle worksheet, students determine the common property for the given numbers in each of twelve octagon.  The solutions are provided.

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

Students investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Students investigate the properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the location of different polygons. They identify the different properties of triangles and polygons.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional 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 examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...

Fourth graders explore geometric properties and relationships in a two-dimensional work of art. They first search for and identify polygons in a Cubist painting and then use polygons to create their own Cubist portrait of a classmate.

The key to understanding is making connections. Scholars explore angle dilations using properties of parallel lines. At completion, pupils prove that angles of a dilation preserve their original measure. 

Students demonstrate their comprehension of shapes and their properties. They work in small groups. Students review the following terms: property, polygon, quadrilateral, and parallelogram. They read Shape Up! Fun With Triangles and...

Using a TI Navigator to drag quadrilaterals around to create different shapes, learners learn how to draw midpoints in their quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using the properties of quadrilaterals. 

Students hunt for hidden geometric shapes and compare the properties of various shapes. For this geometry lesson, students play a game of finding squares, circles, rectangles, and ovals that have been hidden around the classroom....

In this quadrilaterals worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they state the specific name for each shape illustrated. Then, students use the properties of a rhombus, rectangle, or square to solve...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Don't circle around the topic, but get right to the center with tons of practice regarding circles in geometry. The note-incorporated activity provides guided practice through many topics such as central angles, inscribed polygons...

Ninth graders access a star worksheet and determine properties of polygons.  In this investigative lesson plan students complete a worksheet and discuss myths. 

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Second graders view a PowerPoint presentation on Identifying Polygons by their number of sides and their individual properties. They separate polygon tiles into groups by their attributes.

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...
