Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 4: Transformation Station
Second graders manipulate triangles to discover the concepts of slides, flips and turns of a geometric shape.
Curated OER
Volume of Spheres
Students find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.
Curated OER
Geometric Patterns and Relationships
Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...
K12 Reader
Basic Geometry Terms
Set your pupils up to start on geometry by teaching them some introductory terminology. Pupils learn the terms by reading a short passage and looking at examples. They then respond to five questions related to the text.

Congruence with Robot Gobot
Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Prisms
Learners calculate the surface area of different prisms. For this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.
