Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Add some visual support to your elementary geometry lessons with this set of printable shape cards. From triangles and squares to octagons and nanogons, this simple resource can be used in countless ways to develop children's knowledge...

What if I can no longer justify area by counting squares? Lead a class discussion to find the area of a rectangular region with irrational side lengths. The class continues on with the idea of lower approximations and...

As they investigate scaling figures and calculate the resulting areas, groups determine the area of similar figures. They continue to investigate the results when the vertical and horizontal scales are not equal. 

Don't let your classes get stuck on area calculations—grab their attention with an inquiry-based lesson! Scholars must develop a plan to determine how may sticky notes it takes to cover the surface of a door. They decide on the...

Students explore the relationship between flat and three-dimensional shapes. They identify the names of 3-D shapes and construct cubes from squares.

Students create Post-It note fundamental regions to tesselate. They make tesselations using computer software or websites. They create a jacket design with tesselation and determine the cost of production.

In this care homework worksheet, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers.  They multiply and divide fractions.  Students complete percent problems and determine the area of polygons.  This three-page...

Students classify angles. In this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...

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...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Students draw perpendicular bisectors.  For this perpendicular bisectors lesson, students identify the perpendicular bisector in a polygon.  They use web tools to create and measure perpendicular bisectors.  Students...

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...
