Students explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. In this shape identification lesson, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Students...

Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.

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,...
