Sharpen your pencil and grab a ruler, it's time to draw some quadrilaterals! Given the definition of a parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus, learners draw examples and nonexamples of each figure. The three definitions are...

Rhombuses, rectangles and squares are have special properties. In this lesson, young geometers investigate and make conjectures about diagonals, angles, and parallel lines of parallelograms. 

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...

Learners use construction technology to identify and find relationships between the attributes of various quadrilaterals. They make and test conjectures about the distinguishing properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses,...

Students comprehend how Landsat satellites orbit teh Earth to produce images. They comprehend the elliptical path of satellites. Students recognize that a different orbital path is needed for different satellites to perform their tasks....

Teach your mathematicians how to identify the properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for missing angles and sides of a special quadrilateral. They use the TI to move the sides around and create...

Middle schoolers construct polygons by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Pupils connect the points and identify which polygons they have drawn. They will need graph paper to carry out the assigned activities. A vocabulary list,...

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Kindergartners listen to a story read by their teacher, then use magnetic shape pieces to construct simple designes. They "build" their own house using pre-cut paper shapes. This age-appropriate instructional activity would be an...

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's with...

Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

Young scholars explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

High schoolers investigate quadrilateral construction in this geometry lesson plan. They use Cabri Jr. to construct the different quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy given minimal definitions. The lesson plan reinforces the...
