Housinger, Margaret M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1996
Presents a geometric discovery involving the use of a trapezoid as a base for a pyramid. Includes reproducible student worksheet to be used as a group-discovery exercise. (MKR)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Group Activities, Plane Geometry, Secondary Education

Speer, William R.; Dixon, Juli – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1996
Includes lesson plans and worksheets that deal with transformational geometry, specifically reflections. The lesson for grades three to four focuses on angles of incidence and reflection and that for grades five to six involves mirror images. (MKR)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Learning Activities, Lesson Plans, Manipulative Materials

Fosnaugh, Linda S.; Harrell, Marvin E. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 1996
Presents an activity in which students use geometric figures, rep-tiles, to design a tile floor. Rep-tiles are geometric figures of which copies can fit together to form a larger similar figure. Includes reproducible student worksheet. (MKR)

Maletsky, Evan M., Ed.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
These exercises explore both square and nonsquare rhombi constructed on dot-paper grids. The materials are designed to provide reinforcement of geometric concepts, construction of figures from their symmetric properties, and discovery of figures related to each other by transformations. Student access to geoboards is encouraged as helpful. (MP)

Laing, Robert A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Three worksheets are provided to help secondary students explore relationships among the areas of a variety of similar figures constructed on the sides of right triangles. The activity is extended to include the relationship among the lengths of the sides of the right triangle. Included are several student worksheets. (DC)

Lamphere, Patricia – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Presents activities which use patterns on geoboards or dot paper to develop geometry and measurement concepts. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts, Learning Activities

Trojan, Arthur; And Others – 1973
This module, designed to help students find and identify various geometric shapes and solids, contains 26 worksheets. Topics covered by these worksheets include: identification and grouping of objects with particular patterns, work with pentagons, hexagons, spirals, and symmetry. Teaching suggestions are included.
