The Building Blocks of Geometry

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. For this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

Learners investigate similar figures using pattern blocks. In this similar figures lesson, students create figures using pattern blocks. Learners keep track of the area of their figures.

Students explore geometry. In this shape dimensions lesson, students discover what happens when a shape is made larger and if it is similar to the previous shape (scale factor). They work as a class and independently to explore the...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

Build up the basics of geometry, one point at a time. The segment in an extensive playlist on basic geometry provides the definitions of the essential building blocks of geometry. Using drawings, the video shows examples and descriptions.

A five-question interactive provides a horizontal number line where integers are stacked on top of one another to find solutions of addition problems. Mathematicians move numbers to the numbers line, as numbers build higher, the sum of...

Students explore geometry related to real world situations and tangrams. They explore a math website, identify various shapes, draw and describe shapes, read about the history of tangrams, and create their own set of tangrams out of paper.
