Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry activity, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D shapes.  Students...

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Learners need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

In this area worksheet, learners use the perimeter or radius to determine the area of a circle. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems. This worksheet may be produced in printed form. Answers may be viewed on-line.
