If you're teaching 3rd or 4th grade math, this presentation is a must have. It defines perimeter and polygons, then describes the process by which perimeter is determined through pair share discussion and critical thinking questions....

A hands-on activity uses the Zome modeling system, and helps young geometers either learn or review their knowledge of polygons. Students build as many different 2-dimensional polygons as possible: triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon,...

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Students create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Students create their own mandalas...

Not particularly coloful, but definitely informative, here is an introductory presentation on polygons. The basic shapes are covered, from triangles to decagons. Special polygons like the trapezoid and the rhombus are also covered. Not...

For this angles of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the first half...

In this geometry worksheet, learners identify the altitude, perpendicular bisector, median, angle bisector and the area of different polygons. There are 33 problems.

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! In this measurement activity, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Students use polygons to explore division. They use pattern blocks to represent whole numbers and fractions. They discuss divisors, factors, dividend and products. In groups, students present models and solve problems. They justify their...

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.

Students complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students follow directions to make a stained glass window design of regular and irregular polygons with specific geometric elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students also analyze other classmate's designs.

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.

For this polygon worksheet, students find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon. They determine the perimeter of equilateral figures, identify concave and convex figures and explore the characteristics of equilateral, equiangular...

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 explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

Students investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order...
