Polygon Search

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

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,...

The SmartBoard is utilized in this geometry activity 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 included...

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...

In this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations.  Using the SMARTboard, students observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph rotations.

Students research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram instructional activity, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Students construct a set of...

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find the length or area of seventeen figures.  The figures examined are triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, and hexagons.  Some examples and solutions are provided.

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

In this shapes puzzle, students identify names of polygons and circular shapes. A list of 18 shapes are listed for identity.
