Shape Lessons That Connect
Shape lessons provide a way for students to learn about art, science, and math.
Curated OER
Six Squares
Students create different shapes on grid paper. In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper. They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...
Curated OER
Cutouts
Students identify symmetry in shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students fold paper to identify lines of symmetry. Students create various symmetrical shapes using folded paper.
Curated OER
Polygon Monster
Students brainstorm different kinds of shapes. They then draw them on the paper and write the name of the shape on the back and then assemble the shapes to make a "monster". Students make up a survey about the monster including its name...

Creating Polygons
Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Trace a Face
Learners find two dimensional shapes in three dimensional figures. They determine the shapes that make up the faces of three dimensional figures of common classroom objects such as crayon boxes.
Noyce Foundation
Cut It Out
Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out....
Curated OER
Classifying Polygons
Students study polygons. In this math lesson plan, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.
Curated OER
Cubes and Cylinders
In this geometry worksheet, students identify cubes and cylinders by coloring a given number of each shape red, green, blue, or yellow.

Partitioning Circles and Rectangles - Matching Worksheet
This geometry idea is simple enough, but you'll need to note the typos in the directions. Learners match quarters and halves on the right to their whole shapes on the left. The shapes on the left are divided to make this concept easier...
Curated OER
Distance Formula
Young scholars calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Curated OER
Congruent Shapes
In this congruent shapes worksheet, learners complete multiple choice questions for which shape is congruent to the one on the left. Students complete 4 problems total.
Pennsylvania Department of Education
Tangram Challenges
Students explore geometric concepts by working with Tangram Puzzles. In this Tangram challenge lesson, students use problem-solving tasks that involve physical manipulatives. Students select a picture and use all seven pieces...
Curated OER
3-D Beginning Graphs
Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.
Curated OER
Soaring Towers
Young scholars build towers from recycled materials. in this building lesson, students build the highest tower they can from varied materials. They focus on shapes and which items should go on the bottom to make a strong base.
Curated OER
Faces of a Cube
Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson plan, students build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students...
