Your kindergartners know their shapes - but can they identify their locations? A 3x3 grid contains geometric shapes such as diamonds, circles, and hexagons, and pupils locate the shapes within the grid. Which shape is underneath the...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together...

In this geometry worksheet, students choose the correct name to match the shape given. Students identify the words for oval, rectangle, square, circle, triangle, and diamond.

In this geometry worksheet, students draw a line from each geometric shape shown on the left to the matching shape on the right side of the page. They work with plane figures such as a diamond, a square, a circle, and a triangle.

In this geometry worksheet, students draw a line from each of four shape on the left to the matching shape on the right. They match colors and shapes which include a diamond, a circle, a triangle and a square.

In this geometry worksheet, students will cut out and practice 12 shape flashcards. The shapes include the basic plane shapes plus star, heart, diamond, cube and cylinder.

Students explore geometry by utilizing computer software. In this shape identification lesson, students define several geometric shapes by the characteristics that classify them. Students draw and cut out geometric shapes using their...

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. For this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Fifth graders discover lines of symmetry for shapes and everyday objects. In this lines of symmetry lesson, 5th graders use a butterfly outline to find lines of symmetry. Students analyze everyday objects for symmetry and use...

Students explore regular geometric shapes. In this shapes lesson, students investigate geometric shapes in the world around them. Students differentiate between regular and irregular shapes.

Students explore geometry by completing a marshmallow activity in class. In this architecture lesson, students identify the jobs of civil engineers and architects while identifying different geometric shapes as well. Students utilize...

Middle schoolers explore tessellations. They are shown a selection of shapes. Students identify shapes that tessellate and justify their answer. Middle schoolers create their own tessellation.

Students observe a selection of shapes. They identify which shapes will tessellate and justify their answer. Students apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons to create tessellations.

Students explore geometric shapes. In this math lesson, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Students explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture lesson, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students observe photographs...

In this geometry worksheet, students determine if a figure is a quadrilateral. If so, students continue to answer questions to determine whether it is a square, diamond, rhombus, rectangle, parallelogram or trapezoid.

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Brilliant graphics depict a variety of allotropes, especially the allotropes of carbon. Some notes are available to help make these useful for teaching your young chemists, but not for every slide. With some additional preparation on...

Learners explore the pattern of the unit cell. In this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.
