Bisecting Angles and Segments
Young scholars bisect angles and segments using a mira. They measure the original angles and segments and the angles and segments formed by bisecting to better see the relationship between them.

Triangles
A six-page packet walks, or bends learners through angles that combine to create triangles. Definitions are given for right triangles, obtuse and acute triangles. They draw angles according to directions, using a protractor to meet the...
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...
Curated OER
Contructions and Conjectures
Students make constructions and conjectures. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct right, acute and obtuse angles using a straight edge and a protractor. They investigate parallel lines and the angles formed by the angles.
Curated OER
Picking Pythagoras
Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Geoboard Ideas
Students build polygons on their geoboards. In this geometry lesson plan, students build and then draw it on paper and label it. Students then switch with a partner to try an make a symmetrical shape.

Which Shape Am I Describing?
In this math worksheet, students examine 10 geometric shapes. Students read 10 short descriptions and place the number inside the shape that is being described. Example: I have got 2 acute angles and 2 obtuse angles.
Curated OER
Point Comparisons
Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...
Curated OER
Triangles
Third graders recognize geometric shapes with acute angles, make geometric shapes with acute angles on geoboards, and draw acute angles on geopaper.
Curated OER
Concurrent Lines in Triangles
Pupils explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Pupils use a...
Curated OER
Orthocenter Of a Triangle
Students find the orthocenter of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students identify where the altitudes meet in a triangle. They use Cabri software to explore acute, obtuse and right triangles.
Curated OER
Investigating the properties of a circle
Students use wax paper to look at different properties of circles such as chords, tangent lines, inscribed angles, and inscribed angles in a semi-circle, as well as finding the center of the circle, and use GSP to investigate cyclic...

Which Way Do I Go? (Identifying Angles)
Fifth graders practice the concepts related to finding and identifying different angles. There are examples included in the lesson that are useful for the teacher to deliver the lesson.
Curated OER
Identifying Triangles
Sixth graders identify and define a variety of triangles. In this identification of triangles instructional activity, 6th graders draw examples of each triangle on a whiteboard, then complete a worksheet.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Introducing the Concept: Triangles and Quadrilaterals
Guide your geometers through the process of constructing polygons. They learn how to draw triangles, squares, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids with specified angles using a protractor and a ruler. The lesson plan...
