Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

Fourth graders discuss the various attributes of quadrilaterals. In groups, they use the attributes to sort quadrilaterals into different classes and a hierarchy. They review the new vocabulary and attributes with a partner to end the...

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Students create a scrapbook. For this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

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...

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students complete 15 multiple choice problems, choosing the correct definition for a set of math terms. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Students investigate visual arts by researching art on the Internet. In this expressionism lesson, students identify several famous artworks on-line based on self expression and discuss the techniques. Students examine steel sculptures...

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math lesson, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Learners differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. For this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry activity, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Students research art by identifying the work of Keith Haring. In this sculpting instructional activity, students utilize the web to examine sculptures and drawings in the style of Keith Haring. Students utilize sculpting wire, foil,...

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students use a letter key code to match match vocabulary words to their definitions. A reference web site it given for additional activities.

In this math maze learning exercise, students navigate their way through a maze using clues and spelling out math vocabulary words. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students match the math vocabulary definitions to the letter shapes. Students write in 8 words in the letter shapes.

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students complete multiple choice problems where they match the correct math vocabulary word to its definition. Students complete 15 questions.

Students create and classify different types of triangles using an online geo-board. They explore the concepts of similar and congruent as they discover how to draw similar and congruent triangles.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Young scholars differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply it to solve real life situations. They collect data and make predictions based on the data.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...
