Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

Seventh graders use block letter writing to help classify polygons. They use their own names which helps to keep them engaged during the instructional activity. Finally, 7th graders play a classification game naming different polygons.

Students brainstorm different kinds of shapes. They then draw them on the paper and write the name of the shape on the back and then assemble the shapes to make a "monster". Students make up a survey about the monster including its name...

Learners begin the instructional activity by identifying what a polygon is and hypothesizing how many struts (diagonals) it would take to make a polygon rigid. They watch a "Magic School Bus" episode then experiment with various shapes...

Young scholars are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...

Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...

Students participate in a game with different types of polygons. They use triangles to create as many polygons as possible. They also review their colors by having different polygons be a different color.

Twelfth graders apply perimeter measurement to items found in newspapers and calculate the cost in terms of feet or yards. They share answers and explanations with classmates.

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

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

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Fourth graders demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

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

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

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

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

In this plane figures activity, learners answer questions about the plane figures and their sides and corners. Students draw pictures to help them answer the six problems.

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

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,...

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...

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.

Students examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Students identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...
