Reflective Symmetry 1
In this math instructional activity, students investigate reflections of geometric shapes by completing 15 problems. Students analyze a picture of a geometric figure drawn on a dot grid and draw the reflection.
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

The Proof Is in the Picture
Students select a geometric figure and find an example of the figure in their surroundings. They photograph the figure and write a proof to accompany it. They match photos to proofs.
Curated OER
Geometry in A Box
Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.
Curated OER
Geometric Figures
Students identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.
