Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

Students discover different geometric shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, and octagon. Students incorporate the use of technology by taking pictures of shapes around their school using a digital camera.

Students complete activities for geometric shapes and multiplication. For this multiplication lesson, students watch a video about carpets and square foot multiplication problems. Students then work in pairs to solve the main problem in...

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes, including triangles, squares, rectangles and circles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students use fine motor and creativity skills in designing pretzel people or basic shapes. They can glue the pretzel sticks and circles on their piece of cardboard to make realistic or abstract designs.

In this math worksheet, students apply solving quadratic equations using word problems. They pay special attention to the units of measurement.

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems using the quadratic formula. They also create the algebraic expressions.

Students participate in a lesson that focuses on the concepts of combining monomials to make polynomial expressions. They use algebra tiles to complete the exercises in the lesson. This is hands-on learning with successive problem...

Young scholars explore parts of a whole. In this fraction lesson, students determine what makes a fair share. Working with manipulatives, young scholars solve mathematical problems containing fractions.

Students compete in a scavenger hunt to find twenty-two different geometric shapes in natural objects around the school. They practice identification of each geometric shape using a handout then form small groups to search the school...

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Learners use their imaginations to create a unique image. They glue paper to construction paper to create images. They also use crayons to finish their art.

Paper is a lot stronger than you think. Scholars create newspaper structures that can hold the weight of several books. For the purpose of this activity, the designs must be eight inches tall to be considered complete.

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Maximize a profit with an understanding of geometric dimension. A real-world task challenges learners to design a pattern using three different brick shapes. The bricks are dedicated with a different donation for each shape, so part of...

Explore how resizing an object affects its area. The set of lessons challenges young mathematicians to design a mascot for electronic devices. These designs undergo resizing to determine how scale factors of dilation affect area.

How many of 2-D or plane shapes can your class identify? Can they get them all? Little learners view and review the names of nine different shapes, such as rectangle, square, triangle, and circle, to name a few.

Use craft sticks to make a picture frame for parents. A great activity that can be themed for many occasions.

In this math instructional activity, students practice several different math activities. Kids count squares in the table and then use multiplication to solve the word problems. Students then solve five multiplication equations.

In this measurement worksheet, students explore methods to measure the thickness of foil. They write an essay on how they calculated the thickness of the foil, and the number of atoms thick it is. Students create labeled sketches to...

Students create a free form painting using paper shapes and paint.

In this math learning exercise, students investigate the simple geometric shapes of circle, rectangle, oval, triangle and square by making a 6 page book. Students color and read the book about buttons of different shapes.

In this ESL worksheet, students describe 23 shapes (2-dimensional and 3-dimensional). The shapes include an arrow, star, square, rectangle, and triangle.

Fifth graders classify blocks according to their attributes. In this math lesson, 5th graders will identify attributes of blocks, sort them, then form the groups into a Venn Diagram, and write ratios using the attributes.
