Students identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Students research tall buildings and identify the geometric shapes used in the construction of the buildings. They compare shapes and infer why some are better than others in building. They produce a multimedia presentation of geometric...

For this before and after worksheet, students label the shapes for what comes before and after in each problem. Students complete 6 problems.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and shapes.

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the instructional activity focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of...

Students make dog collages using triangles and rectangles. In this collage lesson, students use cut-out triangles and rectangles to make a dog collage after looking examples of Keith Haring's work and listening to Emma Dodd's, Dog's...

In this before and after activity, students answer before and after questions about different shapes in a row. Students answer 4 questions total.

For this math worksheet, students examine the shapes given in two dimensions. They determine which ones are symmetrical to each other.

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

In this shapes worksheet, 3rd graders look at the 6 figures on the left in each row. Students then look at the shapes on the right, determine and circle which shape cannot be used to build each figure on the left.

In this geometry skills worksheet, students follow the provided instructions to cut out geometric shapes on the worksheet and build 5 shapes out of the pieces. Students also complete a graphic organizer regarding the shapes and their...

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric lesson plan, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a lighthouse...

Fourth graders explain the characteristics of quadrilaterals and describe, identify and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

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.

Students identify the elements of line, shape, and color and expressive qualities of pictorial representation. Students create their own puppet frog using emotion and perform in a reader's theater. Students listen to various pieces of...

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders identify the number of sides in a shape, discover a pattern, and find the sum of several numbers. Questions relate to objectives covered on the Texas state test. This would be good bell work.

Students create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.

First graders review the placement of positional words and shapes. In groups, they travel between eight centers throughout the classroom in which they participate in various activities. They focus on concepts that are related to Geometry.

Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. For this geometry lesson, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.

In this geometry instructional activity, students choose the correct name to match the shape given. Students identify the words for oval, rectangle, square, circle, triangle, and diamond.
