Sixth graders build figures out of tangrams. In this symmetry lesson plan, 6th graders view tangrams and identify the polygons included in them. Students divide into groups, identify their tangram pieces, define the lines of symmetry,...

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students create identify properties of trapezoids. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the area of given trapezoids and review the area formula for parallelograms. They draw a correlation between the area of a trapezoid and...

Students listen to a poem that includes directions to use geometric figures to complete a creative task.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students investigate the culturally artistic value of quilts, the importance of trade in meeting basic needs, and the conservation of natural resources.

Learners explore the complexity of handmade quilts and their designs by looking a real life samples.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Patch up any misconceptions about writing functions. Scholars undertake a performance task that has them first examine a pattern in patchwork cushions. They represent the patterns in triangular and rectangular blocks using a table and as...

Students measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry instructional activity, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify...

Students find the area of polygons.  In this area of polygons lesson, students find the area of parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and other polygons.  They identify each given figure and determine the appropriate formula...

Students read the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and study geometry. In this geometry lesson, students identify geometric shapes and their properties. Students create a geo-critter.

Students model the geometric relationship with graphing. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel, perpendicular, similar and congruent shapes. They use properties of polygons to differentiate their shapes...

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that their...

Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry lesson, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson plan, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees...

Young scholars draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Young scholars investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice...

Students investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a reflection.

Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in...

Students perform translations on different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the...

Students investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
