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.  

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...

Perimeter moves beyond squares and rectangles in a lesson on irregular-shaped polygons. The lesson focuses on the strategy of counting and then adding side lengths. Several examples are slowly walked through, giving learners plenty of...

The SmartBoard is utilized in this geometry instructional 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...

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,...

Use prior experience with the array model of multiplication to teach young mathematicians how to find the area of rectangles in the first video of this four-part series. Multiple examples are presented that clearly demonstrate this...

Geometers hit the town to examine signs and analyze their geometric shape attributes. First, review these concepts using the linked podcast and assess comprehension with the interactive shape attribute tool, also an online link. As you...
