 GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT

Introduction
GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT ARE FUN CONCEPTS

Geometry and measurement are concepts that I have always looked forward to teaching. By
incorporating line designs into my teaching, I have been successful at making geometry come alive
for my students. By showing students how to make some very simple line designs, I incorporate the
vocabulary that they need to use (such as right, acute, or obtuse angles; rays; and congruent) when
Fun Independent Practice Pages: Geometry and Measurement, Scholastic Teaching Resources

we discuss designs, and they are also taught how to use a protractor to construct angles of various
sizes. Once they have had an opportunity to create some line designs such as the ones in this book,
I generally encourage students to create their own line designs. How to use a compass and how to
accurately divide a page into halves and quarters is demonstrated to them. Over the years, my
students have created portfolios of breathtaking designs that have been displayed and shared with
the class. Students who have been adept at using the compass or protractor, or those who have
created an interesting design, will often act as mentors to help others achieve success. I strongly
encourage you to try this approach with your class and I’m confident that you will notice that your
class really gets hooked on geometry.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS BOOK

This book offers a collection of geometry and measure-

ment activities for a broad range of skills and abilities.
The book begins with activities involving geometry, then
progresses to measurement. The puzzles are arranged
according to skill, from easy to difficult, and conclude
with word problems that focus on liquid, weight, and
time measurement. You can match the needs of your
students and target a specific skill by checking the skill
description listed in the table of contents.
I’ve also included a student reference page that
provides a list of measures that students will find useful.
This page will prove to be especially helpful when
students are doing various measurement activities that
may require them to convert an answer, such as feet to
miles or gallons to quarts.

 HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Be sure to use these puzzles in a way that best suits the needs of your class. You may find it helpful
to assign certain puzzles as practice work to follow a lesson, as review work, or as homework.
You also may want to have students work on different puzzles depending on the skills each student
needs to practice. The beauty of these activities is that almost all of them are self-correcting.
Fun Independent Practice Pages: Geometry and Measurement, Scholastic Teaching Resources

Whether they are solving a riddle or breaking a code, students are encouraged to check each prob-
lem so they can finish the puzzle successfully.

CONNECTIONS TO THE MATH STANDARDS

Most of the puzzles in this book target NCTM 2000 objectives listed under the Geometry and
Measurement Standards. These objectives include measuring with customary and metric systems,
calculating area, perimeter, and volume, as well as constructing and measuring angles, and using
geometry terminology. This book is packed with exercises that require students to use measure-
ment and geometry in a variety of formats, including word problems and multiple-step equations.
I am confident that your students, like mine, will enjoy this collection of puzzles and reap
the benefits of practicing these essential skills.

Fun With Line Designs #1

Complete the three line designs that have been started for you below. In the right angle, each ray of the angle is measured off in
ten equal measurements. To create a line design, use a ruler or a straightedge and connect the point closest to the vertex on one
ray to the point farthest from the vertex on the other ray. Now connect the second point from the vertex to the second farthest
point on the other ray. Continue to connect all the points on opposite rays following this pattern.
