What do your pupils know about quilting? Read and discuss the information included here before sending class members off to create their own quilt blocks using construction paper. When they have completed their blocks, provide some time...

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...

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

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...

Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. For this tangrams lesson, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to measurement,...

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Students use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Pupils identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of computing the area using different shapes. They use prior knowledge in order to devise a formula for a parallelogram. Scaffolding is provided by the teacher to find the formula of area for...

Students perform translations on different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the real world.

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

In this congruency worksheet, 5th graders complete 4 questions about congruent figures and transformations. Page has links to additional activities.

Learners create a scrapbook. In this geometry instructional activity, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Learners use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry lesson plan, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students decorate the congruent faces and edges of boxes in exactly the same way. They teach the terms "congruent," "faces," and "edges" to their parents.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...

Pupils create packages with a maximum capacity. In this geometry lesson plan ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.
