For this dominoes worksheet, students solve a word problem involving different ways to put dominoes together. Students complete 1 complicated higher order thinking problem.

Third graders are given square tiles and participate in a demonstration on how to arrange them. Using the tiles, they work with a partner to discover how many two-dimensional tetrominoes they can create. To end the lesson, they must...

Young scholars learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

For this tessellations and transformations worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 different problems that include various types of tessellations. First, they write examples from history of tessellations and name 3 artists. Then, students define...

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

Second graders design and create a clay tile to represent their families. They research and discuss similarities and differences among families of different cultures, create a tile to represent their own and then compile the tiles in a...

In this Sudoku worksheet, students cut out a set of tiles for use in a Sudoku game. Answers and a website reference for additional resources are included.

In this interactive lesson, students review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create tessellations. They...

What is ratio? What is proportion? Two examples are shown before your pupils are given seven problems using either ratio or proportion. Consider having your learners illustrate a selection of the problems provided. 

After introducing the concept and formula for finding the area of a square, try this lesson. Fifth graders will use their prior knowledge to break apart various shapes in order to determine area. This lesson includes several examples,...

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

Young scholars explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic...

In this area worksheet, students complete a ten question multiple choice test by finding the area of various geometric figures. This is an interactive worksheet.

Students explore "area."  In this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

Students create story telling plates based on David Stabley's technique. They incorporate art history and aesthetics with hands on activity.

Pupils practice a variety of strategies with varying numbers of tiles to form shapes and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each one. Each group is assigned a different area to build either with square tiles or a geoboard....

Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.

In this perimeter and area lesson, students learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Students define perimeter and area and explain why...

Young scholars create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Third graders read the story "Pompeii...Buried Alive." They locate Italy on a world map and define the term artifact. Students conduct an artifact dig on the playground. Students study the characteristics of mosaics and their...

Students identify geometric shapes, demonstrate construction of an object graph, compare sets of objects, estimate which student has the most geometric shapes in his or her bag, and play computer game Jump Start Kindergarten.

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...
