Students use problem solving skills, formal geometry, and The Geometer?s Sketchpad. They model and solve two real-world problems by constructing the in center and circumcenter of triangles.

In this length worksheet, students answer five multiple choice questions concerning lengths using rules of various figures including, triangles, rhombus, diamonds, and circles.

In this geometry coloring maze learning exercise, 3rd graders color a path of rectangles to help a dog ( pictured) to find his way to the dog house. They choose the rectangles out of other geometric shapes such as stars, oval, triangles,...

In this quadrilaterals and other polygons instructional activity, students name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.

Students identify two dimensional shapes in the school environment. In this basic shapes lesson, students watch a video about rectangles and squares. Students find examples shapes in their classroom and draw them. Students present their...

In this basic shapes instructional activity, students view labeled pictures of a circle, square, triangle, rectangle and oval. They are not asked to do anything with these shapes.

In this shape and color worksheet, students trace rectangles, coloring them pink, then trace circles, coloring them purple. Students then trace and color a set of 6 circles.

In this shapes and colors worksheet, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include matching numbers, shapes, and colors. First, they use the guide at the top of the sheet to match the number to the correct color. Then,...

Define plane shapes by their properties, then use this game to reinforce those skills. Learners use given properties as clues to determine each shape. They work to name ten different shapes, six of which are polygons.

The 21st segment in a 28-part series provides learners with area problems involving composite figures. To find the solution, pupils must decide whether to add or subtract areas. The composite figures are composed of quadrilaterals,...

Scholars determine distances on the coordinate plane to find areas. The instructional activity begins with a proof of the formula for the area of a parallelogram using the coordinate plane. Pupils use the coordinate plane to determine...

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Pupils design a fence for a backyard pool. Scholars develop a fence design based on given constraints, determine the amount of material they need, and calculate the cost of the project. 

Agriculture is truly a math-based profession! Help the dairy farmer determine the supplies needed to complete his barn. Using given dimensions, learners build equations and use units to determine the correct amount of materials.

Who knew running a greenhouse required so much math? Amaze future mathematicians and farmers with the amount of unit conversions, ratio and proportional reasoning, and geometric applications involved by having them complete the...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Students study polygons. In this math lesson, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

In this tessellations worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular tessellation. Then,...

First graders study the attributes of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. They sort shapes that are the same and those that are different into groups.

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

When practicing identifying shapes, students need a variety of ways to practice this skill. Using this worksheet in which students match basic geometric shapes, students review their knowledge. The worksheet has students match four...
