When Am I Ever Going to Use this?
Students solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.
Improving Measurement and Geometry in Elementary Schools
The Sum of the Interior Angles of a Polygon
Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...
Curated OER
Geometry, Word Search Puzzle
In this math worksheet, students look for the words that are related to the math words used in the practice of geometry. They also practice spelling.
Curated OER
Intro to Geometry
Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.
Curated OER
Lines, Rays, Line Segments, and Planes
Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes
Curated OER
Unit Perimeters and Areas
Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...
Curated OER
Cut, Construct and Think 3
Students identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.
Curated OER
Cut, Construct and Think - 4
Students identify polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify and describe polygons. Students create new shapes out of the shapes they are given.
Curated OER
Cut, Construct and Think - 6
Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. In this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.
