Young scholars view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Young scholars use pegboards and string to...

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

In this formula learning exercise, learners complete a graphic organizer, answering the questions relating to: understand, plan, solve, look back. Students solve 2 problems. Houghton Mifflin test is referenced.

Math: The only subject where the solution to a problem is seven million matches. Young scholars first complete an assessment task estimating the number of matches they can make from a tree of given dimensions. They then evaluate provided...

In this identifying faces of solid figures instructional activity, students solve each of the 6 problems that require them to identify the faces of a cylinder, box, cone, and pyramid.

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

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 formulas worksheet, students write the area, perimeter, and volume formulas of 17 2D and 3D polygons.  Students list properties of various types of triangles and the metric conversions for metric units.

In this solid figure worksheet, students write 3 possible combinations of views and a solid figure for a set of 3 plane figures. Students are given choices in a box at the top of the page. Students then draw and label top views of a cone...

In this geometry learning exercise, 4th graders find 13 words in a word search puzzle. They find words such as convex, prism, cylindrical, and cone which are placed diagonally, vertically, or horizontally in the puzzle.

In this math worksheet, students look for the properties related to each shape and then fill in the graphic organizer with the categories needed.

In this solid figures worksheet, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

In this making shapes worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to investigate shapes.

The University of Saskatchewan's Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides high school students with online tutorials and exercises on what they deem some of the most important topics in geometry: Triangles, and Circles and Other...

At this one page website a variety of polyhedra are shown. The challenge is to create the skeleton for each polyhedron and identify the needed materials. You can check your solution right at the website.
