Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Students are encouraged to share, through discussion and writing, their feelings about these and other acts of terrorism, as well related issues such as national security and media coverage of the attacks.

Students are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

Students explore the shape of things as they bend, twist, and turn. In this early childhood lesson plan, students develop social, creative-thinking, and language skills and spatial awareness as they use their bodies to create geometric...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Students discover the sum of the interior and exterior angles of several polygons. In this Geometers sketchpad lesson, students work in groups to find the stated measurements of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. Students...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

Fourth graders practice finding the perimeter of shapes.  For this measurement lesson, 4th graders review the meaning of perimeter and work in groups to draw polygons with differing perimeters.  Students share their polygons...

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Tenth graders investigate the history of geometry and its different shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders practice seeing three dimensional shapes and explain why there are only five polyhedra. They relate all the...

In this geometry of triangles worksheet, students find the length of sides, are, and angle measurement of inscribed triangles, pentagons, and midpoint of a line. This two-page worksheet contains seven problems.

Students discuss recent currents events as a class. Using one of the events, they write a poem about how they feel about the event in question. They choose specific symbols that relate to event and write a poem about it as well. They...

In this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms worksheet, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

In this dodecahedron worksheet, students build a model of a dodecahedron. The pattern for this shape is made up of twelve pentagons. This is a worksheet generator, and the teacher can choose if a sample of the completed shape will be...

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 math worksheet, students build a model of a truncated icosahedron. This shape has 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces. An option to include a preview of the finished model is included for the teacher.

In this 3-D objects and common solids worksheet, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5 different...

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the instructional activity should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Young scholars select a method of presenting on a given topic by rolling paper dice which have various presentation methods on them. They produce the activity and share it with the class.

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

In this transformations instructional activity, students copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Students finish with...

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...

Eighth graders review adding and subtracting of integers. The class makes a number line from -10 to 10 and practice adding and subtracting by "acting out" the math problems. Students play a card game using the number cards from a regular...
