Can You Name That Shape?
Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...
Illustrative Mathematics
3-D Shape Sort
From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...
Curated OER
Superb Shapes and Fantastic Figures
Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.
Curated OER
Plain Figures and Measuring Figures
Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry activity, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.
Curated OER
Searching The Word
Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
Learners view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Learners use pegboards and string to create more...

Holiday Homework Challenge
In this holiday homework challenge worksheet, learners participate in completing nine mini homework assignments for a prize when they return from the holiday break.
Curated OER
Geometry Jeopardy
Students identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry lesson, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.
Curated OER
3-D Figures Part 1
Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory...
Curated OER
Great Shapes Alive!
Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.
Curated OER
Net "Working"
Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...
