Rombicosidodecahedron
In this math worksheet, students create a geometric paper model of a rombicosidodecahedron solid that is considered a challenging project.
Curated OER
Free Printables: Nets (3D Models)
In this 3D shapes learning exercise, students cut out the 3D shape on the page and fold on the lines to create the correct shape. The learning exercise states which shape should be build with the cut-out.
Curated OER
Line and Shape Game
Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.
Curated OER
Investigating Nets and Polyhedra
Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...
Curated OER
Geometric Shapes And Figures
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...
Curated OER
Ship Shape
Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Rotational Symmetry of Polygons and Other Figures
Learners explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Learners analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...
Curated OER
Adding and Subtracting Fractions
Second graders use blocks to show the addition and subtraction of fractions with common denominators. They identify the steps in these functions and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Shape Search
Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.
Curated OER
Polygon Perimeters
Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson plan. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.
Curated OER
Symmetry and Tessellations
Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...
Curated OER
Don't Box Me In
Students explore the relationship between flat and three-dimensional shapes. They identify the names of 3-D shapes and construct cubes from squares.
Curated OER
Love Hurts
Learners examine how the love bug virus caused billions of dollars in damage after it spread from Asia. Students create profiles of hackers and design a public service announcement and posters to discourage the creation of such viruses.
Curated OER
Geometry: Lesson 2
Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.
Curated OER
Polygons
Middle schoolers work together to create mobiles with different polygons. They research the polygon and list its characteristics. They may present to the class if they chose to.
Curated OER
Area and Perimeter
Learners participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.
Curated OER
Line and Shape Game
Students create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use it...
Curated OER
Tessellations
Fifth graders investigate the relationship between math and art by examining patterns and polygons.They examine how polygons make up the patterns that form tessellations, and determine tessellations that occur in nature. Finally, they...
Curated OER
Tessellations: Geometric Patterns
Students create tessellation drawings using repeating geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...
Curated OER
Gee O Me Tree
Students follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Shapes (Geometric)
Second graders explore various geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders identify geometric shapes using colors and math problems.
Curated OER
Cutting Corners
Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.
Curated OER
Making Pictures from Smaller Shapes
Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
