Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Students discuss figures with various numbers of sides.  For this geometry lesson, students are read The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, they participate in a class discussion of many sided figures and are introduced to the term...

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

In this polygons instructional activity, students fill out a graphic organizer about the name of the polygon, the number of sides, the angle sums, and more. Students complete this for 5 polygons.

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

Young scholars are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

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...

Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

Fourth graders demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Build on your learners' previous knowledge of geometric shapes and symmetrical figures. Then set them out to take photos of geometric shapes on campus. They assess whether the photos contain symmetry or not. 

There are many different polygons, so give your learners a worksheet that practices area and perimeter on the various shapes. This full-page worksheet includes problems with hexagons, trapezoids, squares, parallelograms, and rectangles....

In this classifying shapes using Venn diagrams worksheet, students draw examples of isosceles, right, and equilateral triangles in the proper sections of the first graphic organizer. They draw polygons, both regular and quadrilaterals,...

Learners begin the instructional activity by identifying what a polygon is and hypothesizing how many struts (diagonals) it would take to make a polygon rigid. They watch a "Magic School Bus" episode then experiment with various shapes...

In this similar and congruent polygons learning exercise, students learn to solve problems using similar and congruent polygons. Students solve six problems.

Using a similar process from the first lesson in the series of finding area approximations, a measurement resource develops the proof of the area of a circle. The problem set contains a derivation of the proof of the circumference...

Here is a lesson containing a great activity based on coordinates, and the perimeters of shapes created using a given set of coordinates. After youngsters creat a shape on a grid based on some coordinate pairs, they must identify which...

An outstanding lesson on triangles awaits your math scholars. Learners focus on the triangle, which is the strongest of all polygons. They see the role that triangles play in the design of buildings, and learn about triangle...

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the area of complex polygons. They solve word problems using rates and distances.

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

In this geometry worksheet, students define and draw quadrilaterals. They differentiate between the different shapes. There are 3 questions with an answer key.
