In the following activities, students use geometry vocabulary and explore math concepts including: measurement, area and perimeter, fractions and patterns!

1. Spiral Triangles

Create a spiral design using equilateral triangles! To create the design, start out with a large triangle. Then, cut out a triangle thats side is the same length of the large triangle's height. Paste the side of the triangle along the the center of the larger triangle, so it covers half of the large triangle. Keep on creating smaller triangles with sides that match the previous triangle's height to create a spiral!

2. Square Stack

This art activity comes from Lucky To Be In First. Students measure, cut, and paste squares in descending order. Each square is 1/2 an inch smaller than the preceding square.
Note: You could also have children figure out the area and perimeter of each square on a separate sheet of paper.
Example
1. area = 25, perimeter = 20
2. area = 20.25, perimeter = 18
3. area = 16, perimeter = 16
4. area = 12.25, perimeter = 14
5. area = 9, perimeter = 12
6. area = 6.25, perimeter = 10
7. area = 4, perimeter = 8
8. area = 2.25, perimeter = 6
9. area = 1, perimeter = 4

3. Line Drawing: Polygon Investigator

Integrate math and art by creating a line drawing. Kids use a ruler and draw random lines on paper. Then, they become polygon investigators! They examine their artwork and color in polygons that have the same number of sides.

4. Polygon Patterns

Explore vertices and diagonals while seeking patterns in polygons! Have kids predict the number of diagonals a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, and octagon have. Split kids up into teams. Then, have them problem solve by drawing diagonals on shape outlines. Make sure kids use different colored markers for each diagonal (so they can count them). Also, have a teammate tally each diagonal drawn. Can they find a pattern?! How many diagonals does a hexadecagon have?!

5. Square Explosion

Give kids scissors and a paper square and see what they can create!

6. Frac-Geo-Bot

Frac-Geo-Bot is a fun math activity for kids to get creative. They design a robot out of various polygons. Then, they figure out the fraction for each shape and color. Older kids can design more complex bots, like the one above. Younger kids can create simpler bots, using basic shapes.

7. Pass the Paper: Collaboration

This math art collaboration project comes from Incredible Art! Kids show their knowledge of geometry terms by creating art! Each child is given a piece of paper. They are given an instruction (such as make 3 dots). Then, they pass their sheet of paper. Another instruction is given (ex: use a compass to create 3 circles from the 3 dots). Students draw on their peers' paper. Then, they pass the paper. Papers get passed around until they reach their "owner." The owner embellishes the line drawing to create a unique piece of art!

8. Shape Trading Cards

Kids draw the shape and fill out the back of the cards. Click here for the printable.

Note: Don't cut along the center line. The card folds in half, so there is a front and back.

9. Asymmetrical Starburst

Students explore geometry and art by creating asymmetrical starburst designs!
1. Draw a line segment 3 to 5 inches long in the center of the paper.
2. Make dots around the line segment. (No dots on the horizontal line)
10 dots (5 above, 5 below for younger students / 15-20 dots for older students)
3. Connect the dots! - but, in a pattern. (Connect one end of the line segment to a dot, back to the other end of the line segment) - repeat (end of line segment-dot-other end of line segment) - use a ruler
Note: To simplify this project have children make their horizontal line a different color or add bright colored dots to the end of the line segment. Then, they will be able to see where they draw their lines to.

10. Mathematical Op Art

Students use their math skills to create op art! First, have students come up with a measurement for their line spacing between their parallel lines. The example has a 1/2 inch gap between each line. After students draw their parallel lines with a ruler, they choose five polygons to include in their composition. They draw their shapes using a ruler. Once their shapes are drawn, they create an AB pattern using two different colored markers, coloring around their shapes. Then, they go back and color their shapes to create an optical illusion! (see example).

Posters for the classroom that the formulas and visuals for the students regarding the circumference, diameter and radius.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These eye-catching bulletin board posters will help your students learn how to calculate the area and circumference of a circle and will look GREAT on your word wall with your anchor charts!

Some of your students may need help remembering the formulas for area of a circle and circumference of a circle. Having a constant reminder on the wall really helps!

Your 7th grade math students will really benefit from this poster. But it will look AMAZING on the wall of any math classroom!

This is a large black & white DIY poster. Print out the panels you want to use, cut them out, and assemble your poster. Laminate and mount to your bulletin board or directly to your wall.

This poster fits nicely on a standard poster board, but you will have to trim off a little excess on the edge.

If you want your poster to POP like mine, you need to print it on Astrobrights color paper or card stock.

Most math classroom posters are hard to read from the desks. They are often cluttered with too much information! The students can't even read them unless they are standing next to the wall!

My posters are LARGE and VIVID! EASILY read from the desks. They are bold and readable from anywhere in the classroom.

Every math class should have these posters! They are useful and beautiful!

Decorate and educate!

This explains the movement of objects in the coordinate plane is referred to as transformation. Learn about the different types of transformations, their graphical representations, their application in a coordinate plane, and problem-solving involving transformations.

Definitions of Transformations

Geometric transformations involve taking a preimage and transforming it in some way to produce an image. There are two different categories of transformations:

1. The rigid transformation, which does not change the shape or size of the preimage.

2. The non-rigid transformation, which will change the size but not the shape of the preimage.

Types of Transformations

Within the rigid and non-rigid categories, there are four main types of transformations that we'll learn today. Three of them fall in the rigid transformation category, and one is a non-rigid transformation.

Why is dilation the only non-rigid transformation? Remember that in a non-rigid transformation, the shape will change its size, but it won't change its shape.

Examples

1. Which figure represents the translation of the yellow figure?

The answer is Q. It is the only figure that is a translation. Figure P is a reflection, so it is not facing the same direction. Figure R is larger than the original figure; therefore, it is not a translation, but a dilation.

2. Which type of transformation is represented by this figure?

The preimage has been rotated around the origin, so the transformation shown is a rotation.

How to Perform Transformations

Most transformations are performed on the coordinate plane, which makes things easier to count and draw. The best way to perform a transformation on an object is to perform the required operations on the vertices of the preimage and then connect the dots to obtain the figure.

A translation is performed by moving the preimage the requested number of spaces.

Move the above figure to the right five spaces and down three spaces. If you take each vertex of the rectangle and move the requested number of spaces, then draw the new rectangle. This will be your translated image:

The mathematical way to write a translation is the following: ( x, y) → ( x + 5, y - 3), because you have moved five positive spaces in the x direction and three negative spaces in the y direction.

Rotation of an object involves moving that object about a fixed point. To rotate a preimage, you can use the following rules. To rotate an object 90° the rule is ( x, y) → (- y, x). You can use this rule to rotate a preimage by taking the points of each vertex, translating them according to the rule and drawing the image. For example, if the points that mark the ends of the preimage are (1, 1) and (3, 3), when you rotate the image using the 90° rule, the end points of the image will be (-1, 1) and (-3, 3).

The rules for the other common degree rotations are:
