In this polygons instructional activity, students fill out a graphic organizer about the name of the polygon, the number of sides, the angle sums, and more. Students complete this for 5 polygons.

In this polygons worksheet, students put a polygon jigsaw puzzle back together to form the planet Earth. Students put 10 polygons together.

Students discuss figures with various numbers of sides.  For this geometry lesson, students are read The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, they participate in a class discussion of many sided figures and are introduced to the term...

In this triangle worksheet, 6th graders draw and cut out a triangle, cut it into three pieces, then arrange the pieces to make new shapes.

In this classifying shapes using Venn diagrams worksheet, students draw examples of isosceles, right, and equilateral triangles in the proper sections of the first graphic organizer. They draw polygons, both regular and quadrilaterals,...

In this tangrams instructional activity, 10th graders solve 7 different problems related to designing tangrams. First, they trace each of the figures shown on the sheet. Then, students cut out the pieces and rearrange them to form each...

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Seventh graders participate in a lesson that is focused upon the concepts of classifying different angles and triangles. They practice classifying triangles according to its kind that includes types of angles, congruence, and vertices....

Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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...
