Ninth graders access a star worksheet and determine properties of polygons.  In this investigative instructional activity students complete a worksheet and discuss myths. 

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter of rectangles. In this area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders measure and determine perimeter and area of various rectangles. Students create rectangles with given areas...

In this shape identification worksheet, students identify shapes as circles, triangles, squares or rectangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this 2D shape/rectangle worksheet, students view a picture of a large rectangle. Worksheet has no other associated activities. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this rectangle worksheet, students focus on mastery of the shape. Students trace 3 horizontal and 3 vertical rectangles.

In this quadrilaterals and polygons worksheet, students solve the problems using quadrilaterals and other polygons. Students solve six problems.

In this quadrilaterals and other polygons worksheet, students name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.

In this mystery numbers worksheet, students solve 4 different word problems that include guessing numbers described. First, they determine a two digit number that has the sum equal to 6. Then, students determine a two digit number that...

In this geometry worksheet, students examine 14 rectangles of different sizes which are shown with dotted lines. Students trace the rectangles and "colour" in the shapes.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various shapes. Then they circle the correct number of shapes illustrated in each box. There are 10 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various types of shapes shown. Then they circle the group with the most shapes. There are 8 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this mathematics instructional activity, students solve a number of problems by counting each shape and graphing the amount to the right in height. Then they circle the shape that appears the most often on the sheet.

In this mathematics worksheet, students circle the shape in each group that is different. there are six different groups to identify on the sheet.

In this graphing worksheet, students predict how a graph of given functions will work. Next, they check their work using a graphing calculator. Students use algebra to complete the graph of a square and determine transformations.

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Middle schoolers are introduced to the concept of perimeter. As a class, they listen to a lecture describing the derivations of a function that describes perimeter. They calculate the minimum perimeter of a rectangle and determine the...

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The lesson has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative activities strengthen the...

Second graders conduct a survey, they record their data with the help of maps. They use an aerial photo or Ordnance Survey map, 2nd graders pinpoint specific places and add them to a legend using the drawing tools. Students use...

Students examine the rhombi or diamond shape and compare it to the square. Students are challenged to create as many flat rhombus shapes as possible and develop a definition for the rhombus shape in 20 minutes while working in teams of...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...
