Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

Your learners collaboratively find the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle using rigid transformations and symmetry. Through congruence proofs they show that they understand congruence in terms of rigid motions as they...

In this bonding worksheet, students read about the types of bonds that hold compounds together. They are given fifteen common materials and they identify the types of bonds that hold each together.

In this estimating area instructional activity, students work with their families to draw four small objects found around their house and estimate the area of each object. 

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson plan, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt.  In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different.  Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles.  Students work in cooperative...

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Students study and view pictures of Native American totem poles on the internet. They create totem poles using PowerPoint that represent their family histories using symbols to designate historic events.

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The lesson begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the heat needed to...

Students find the volume of spheres. In this geometry instructional activity, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Middle schoolers explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. For this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Middle schoolers collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students 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. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area activity, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

In this congruency worksheet, students find congruency in everyday packaging on everyday items and answer questions about them. Students answer 4 questions.

Pupils identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. For this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface area,

High schoolers identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

Learners calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.
