Students create replicas of mola art , a fabric applique process of the Kuna Indians. After discovering Mola designs include the natural world, dreams, geometric shapes, imaginary monsters, and contemporary images, they design their...

Students compare and constrast fiber arts from a variety of cultures and time periods. They draw a patchwork quilt using irregular geometric shapes and bright colors. Students display their quilts as part of an exhibit. They are told...

In this comparison worksheet, students count clip art pictures in 10 boxes. They circle the group that has less in each box. They see pictures of animals, geometric shapes, and birds.

Exact narrative and examples make this lesson on polygons easy to implement. Through it, your class will learn how to use a protractor and ruler to construct triangles and quadrilaterals according to your directions. Your class will be...

In this geometric shapes:  rotational symmetry activity, learners look at four shapes and check yes or no for rotational symmetry.

Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students compare area and perimeter of pairs of figures, determining which has either the greatest area or perimeter. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

For this symmetry worksheet, students analyze 6 geometric shapes and determine if the shape has symmetry. Students mark "yes" or "no".

Students identify and name basic shapes and points. In this elementary geometry lesson plan, students use printable cut outs to name circles, triangles, and squares before playing a game with them. They play a game of "Pin the Tail on...

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D...

In this patterns worksheet, students analyze a series of geometric shapes and determine the pattern. Students use numbers or letters to represent each pattern.

In this second grade geometry worksheet, 2nd graders answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric shapes, with the answers available online.

Students explore geometric shapes. In this math instructional activity, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

In this naming shapes activity, students write the name of given shapes, then write why they named shapes as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes and vertices worksheet, students determine shapes that have more or less vertices and name shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
