Polygon Search

In search of a comprehensive geometry resource to supplement your elementary math instruction? Look no further. This geometry chapter, taken straight out of a math textbook, provides everything you need to begin teaching young...

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

An excellent lesson on calculating the perimeter of a polygon, using real world tasks, awaits your students. They watch and discuss a PowerPoint presentation, identify objects in the classroom or on the school grounds that might create a...

The clues are given and your learners must create a polygon with the specified conditions. Using lines such as parallel and perpendicular, different polygons are constructed while following the given conditions. 

At the end of the activity your learners will be able to classify a polygon by the number of ordered pairs given in a coordinate plane used as the vertices. this is the first video in a progressive series of four using geometry to solve...

Students identify and categorize different polygons. In this polygons lesson plan, students research and identify properties of polygons,  identify different polygon shapes, and categorize different triangles and quadrilaterals.

The SmartBoard is utilized in this geometry lesson plan which has young mathematicians draw, identify, and define polygons. They access links embedded in the plan to gain practice in working with polygons, then take a quiz which is...

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...
