Fifth graders study perimeter. In this math activity, 5th graders use Cheerios to find the perimeter of various polygons. Students discuss how to figure the perimeter of triangles, squares and rectangles.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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 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...

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

High schoolers will select a high interest animal portrait. After completing an n accurate light line drawing, the portrait will be finished using contours lines constructed of implied wrapping using pencil and pen. The eyes will be...

Learners take turns matching the appropriate shapes (listing coin values) to those with numerical values listed on them. When students are successful, they win a blank shape for their collection.

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Learners utilize the Poison Boxes activity on The Nature Park is used to practice the recognition of 2D shapes and their properties. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of area and perimeter, and they practice finding the values in various types of situations. They construct different representations of shapes using the area measurements and also explain the...

In this before/after activity, students followed direction to color shapes that come either before or after others. A website reference for additional resources is provided.

Tenth graders explore the role that collisions and near collisions of galaxies play in determining the shape of galaxies. They model the collision of disk shaped and spherically shaped galaxies.

Visual arts lesson plan featuring a group mural that is constructed by each student soda straw paintings that reflects the use of shape, color and hue.

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...

Students identify the shape of the letter their name begins with, then use their arms to trace the shape of the letters with their hands. They do this to the movement of music.
