6-8
In this lesson, students classify polygons according to more than one
property at a time. In the context of a game, students move from a
simple description of shapes to an analysis of how properties are
related. This lesson was adapted from an article which appeared in the
October, 1998 edition of
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School.
3-5, 6-8
Use this applet to create patterns to cover the screen using regular polygons.
6-8, 9-12
This grades 7-12 activity allows students to look for patterns within the given data. After looking at the pattern, the student should be able to form generalizations for the problem. Furthermore, this activity sharpens the algebraic skills of the students. The problem sharpens visualization skills.
6-8
Use
geoboards to visualize the geometric meanings of square and square root.
6-8
Explore
polyhedra using different representations and perspectives for three
