Curated OER
Geometry Gymnastics
Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.
Curated OER
Superb Shapes and Fantastic Figures
Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Exploring Secants: Products of Segments
Young scholars explore secants and circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They create arguments to prove the theorems are true.
Curated OER
Exploring Chords: Products of Chord Segments
Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on a circles.
Curated OER
Create A Map!
Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes, and discuss map skills and attributes. They plan and create their own school campus maps using pre-cut building site shapes.

Orthographic Drawing
Learners investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.
Curated OER
Using Concept Maps to Design 3D Spheres
Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Triangles in Architecture
Learners find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.
Curated OER
A Cylinder and Its Net
Students sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Exploring Properties of Rectangular Prisms
Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. For this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

A Christmas Project
Seventh graders publish a letter and spreadsheet using the computer. They build a three-dimesnsional object with construction paper and develop a Christmas object using coordinates on a graph. Students compose a response in their journals.
Curated OER
Pyramids on Parade/Nets
Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.
Curated OER
Sketching Spheres
Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Discovering Friction
Middle schoolers watch a demonstration that introduces them to the idea that friction is a force that impedes motion when two surfaces are in contact. They work in groups to experiment with frictional force using a coffee cup on which...
Curated OER
Surface Area of Cones
High schoolers find the surface area of cones. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the dimensions of each three-dimensional shape and use the correct formula to solve the problem. They relate concepts of cones to the...
Curated OER
Brown Bag It
Fourth graders draw an object relying only on their sense of touch and imagination and then draw it again using their powers of observation to create a detailed study of the object. Comparisons are then made of the two drawings.
