Extending Pattern Understandings
Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.
Curated OER
Perspective
Students explain what is near and far in respect to the horizon line on a 2-d surface. They blend and use oil pastels correctly and explain the concept of a horizon line.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 3, Lesson 13: Reflections
Young scholars use current knowledge to predict the meaning of line of symmetry. They explore symmetry using mirrors.
Curated OER
Shape Makes a Difference!
Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.
Curated OER
They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!
Learners gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.
Curated OER
Fold and Cut
Second graders explore line symmetry and the names and attributes of two-dimensional mathematical shapes. They study the context by folding and cutting out shapes to make a series of mathematical shapes.
Curated OER
Circles, Cylinders, Cones and Spheres
In this comparing geometric figures worksheet, students continue patterns and observe circles. In this problem solving worksheet, students answer seven questions.

Governor's Garden
Young scholars review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Mean
Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry instructional activity, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri...

Tetrominoes and Translations
Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...
Curated OER
Effect of Transformations on Coordinates
In this effect of transformations on coordinates instructional activity, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.
Curated OER
Transformations and Translations
In this transformations/translation activity, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Classifying Polygons
Seventh graders participate in a polygon hunt. In this polygon lesson, 7th graders examine how polygons are alike and different. Students create a Venn diagram and label the sorting circles. Students work in cooperative groups to sort...
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 6, Lesson 20: Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here
Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...
Curated OER
Present Hunt
In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.
Curated OER
Geo-Town
Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...
Curated OER
Mondrian, Math, and Amazing Colors
Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.
Cornell University
Bridge Building
Bridge the gaps in your knowledge of bridges. Individuals learn about bridge types by building models. The activity introduces beam bridges, arch bridges, truss bridges, and suspension bridges.
Mathematics Assessment Project
Designing 3d Products: Candy Cartons
Wouldn't it be great to work in a candy factory? Learners get their chance as they first design a carton for a candy that meets certain requirements. They then examine and analyze nets and explanations in sample student responses.
Charleston School District
Applications of the Pythagorean Theorem
Use patterns to your advantage! The Pythagorean Theorem allows learners to find missing sides of right triangles. Problems include those with both rational and irrational lengths.
Curated OER
Regular Polygons
Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.
