Students are asked to visualize three-dimensional figures and apply this visualization to problem solving.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Jump start children's math education with this fun basic skills resource. Offering dozens of different touch-and-swipe activities with colorful graphics, this program is perfect for all young learners.

Middle schoolers are encourage to try their hand at traditional Oceania tapa art by crafting their own cloth using brown paper bags. Included in the resource is background information about the cultures of Oceania and their art. 

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

In this circles worksheet, students view a set of different sized circles. Worksheet is for reference and has no associated activities.

Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.

Students explore the concept of area under a curve. In this area under a curve lesson, students find the area under a curve using the Monte Carlo method using random points and probability. Students calculate the area under the same...

Students design and create their own stamps as well as practice the art of printmaking. They cut a variety of shapes from "Easy-cut foam" and glue them to a cardboard base to create their print.

Tenth graders create polynomial quilts. In this polynomials lesson, 10th graders use concrete models, such as construction paper, to create various shapes described. Students use the FOIL method to multiply terms and to get a square...

This PowerPoint addresses fifth grade math concepts, focusing mostly on geometry. The interactive math review game is in a "Jeopardy" style format and enables students to revisit the topics in geometry such as polygons, quadrilaterals...

Students create both a visual and formal proof of the Pythagorean theorem, as well as view four additional geometric demonstrations of the theorem. They construct a square and conjecture the following theorem: The sum of the areas of...

Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate the...

Pupils examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

In this area instructional activity, students calculate the surface area of 3 given shapes, showing their work in spaces provided. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this perimeter activity, students find the perimeter of a set of 6 given shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

Learners calculate the surface area of three rectangular prisms, including a cube, based on given dimensions. There are only three diagrams with which to work. Nice homework, as it provides practice, but isn't too much busy work or...

In this angles practice learning exercise, students use their problem solving skills to respond to 4 questions that require them to measure angles and turn them.

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Students explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between acute, obtuse, right, alternate interior, exterior and adjacent angles. They manipulate a math...

Tenth graders explore the properties of the incenter of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct a triangle and the angle bisectors of each angle. The dynamic properties of Cabri Jr. allow students to locate and...

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.
