Curated OER
Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings
Curated OER
Polygons Defined
Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon activity, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.
Curated OER
Polygons
Fourth graders identify and describe lines, shapes, and solids using formal geometric language. They use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer and outline of polygons.

Geometry: Lesson 2
Eighth graders engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is...
Curated OER
Fences and Posts
Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

Investigating the Idea of Tan
Fifth graders use tan to solve problems involving right-angled triangles. They solve equations of the form tan(8) =a, for a between 180 degrees and 360 degrees. They state the value of tan (8) in special cases.

Pbs Learning Media: Lines and Angles: Targeted Math Instruction
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify and apply the properties of lines and angles and understand the concept of parallel, perpendicular, complementary and supplementary angles, vertical angles, and parallel lines...
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: G Gpe Equal Area Triangles on the Same Base Ii
This task has students apply their knowledge of parallel lines to solve a geometric problem on areas of triangles. The task is open-ended in that students can choose their method of completing the task. Aligns with G-GPE.B.5.
