High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Students compare and contrast the process of dehydration with the processes of freezing and canning. They predict energy sources that may be accessible in the future in different environments such as the moon and planets, most notably Mars.

Students practice moving over shapes they have designed.

Students practice moving over shapes they have designed. They work on trying to travel around the shapes while practicing their jumping and landing patterns.

Students experiment and analyze triangulation to assess degrees of combined angles, predict polygons that tessellate as well as extending of shapes to create tessellations. They explore the concept of why some polygons tessellate when...

In this construction geometric shapes worksheet, student use the software program for instruction then construction shapes and bisect angles for four questions.

Fourth graders use math software and geoboard paper to design basic shapes. They write individual definitions for the geometric shapes based on what they see in the shapes. They apply their background knowledge of the shape as they write...
