Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The instructional activity has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative...

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.

In this polygon worksheet, students draw various polygons according to given specifications and find angle sums. A website reference for additional resources is given.

In this angle instructional activity, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets.  These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson plan, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that...

In this geometry worksheet, students match terms with definitions, and complete short answer questions about polygons and congruency.

Learners investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from...

Students add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show their...

Students follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

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

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find the length or area of seventeen figures.  The figures examined are triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, and hexagons.  Some examples and solutions are...

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

For this 2 D shape worksheet, 2nd graders find 2 D shape words in a word search. Students search for 13 shapes and are given a word bank at the bottom.

In this shoelace algorithm worksheet, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Students follow directions to make a stained glass window design of regular and irregular polygons with specific geometric elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students also analyze other classmate's designs.

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...

Second graders complete a variety of activities surrounding a unit on China and Chinese culture.

Ninth graders, after being given a unique scenario and a task sheet on Dead Man's Curve, calculate and explain the force needed to keep a car on a curve using a set of formulas and a geometric property of circles. They utilize and create...

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

In this geometry learning exercise, students choose the multiple choice answer to 15 questions involving several different elements of geometry.
