6th Grade Geometry

Put young mathematicians' problem-solving skills to the test with this geometry activity. Provided with a context involving the painting of a chest in the shape of a rectangular prism, they must determine possible dimensions of the chest...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Teach your class how to apply their knowledge of geometry as they explore the unknown. In order to find an unknown angle, students must understand that rectangles have four interior right angles, that right angles have 90 degrees, and...

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of rectangles,...

Get ready for the big test with this math Jeopardy game. Students will answer questions about fractions, equations, and geometry. The concepts are pretty basic and should be appropriate for students in the 5th or 6th grade.

Shape one's understanding of geometry using the resource. The sixth of seven chapters in 6th Grade Math focuses on geometry principles. Future mathematicians learn to find the area of parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and other...

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

Students figure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circles lesson, students break into small groups and work together to find the answers then compare with peer groups. Students then make human circles and using string...

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry instructional activity, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and...

Sixth graders examine the concepts of scale and symmetry in the study of geometry. They create scale drawings of different shapes and other real world objects that are either huge or small. The example shapes require the lines of...
