Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and...

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Students create wrapping clothes using paper or cloth scraps being sure to find or make geometric shapes. They create a visually balanced composition including symmetry,and repeated patterns.

Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

An outstanding lesson on music awaits your young composers! They learn about patterns found in music, the different sections of an orchestra, and see the differences between musicians and a composer. Excellent streamed videos and good...

Students explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Young scholars identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then young scholars identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the...

Students create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

Second graders manipulate triangles to discover the concepts of slides, flips and turns of a geometric shape.

Students explore making patterns. For this patterns lesson, students make patterns from the groups they are put in. Students can use items from around the room to make their patterns

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Students use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students explore optical illusions. In this Applied Science lesson, students view optical illusions and record the data of what they see. Students graph the data that they collect.

Students identify and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects and compare and contrast their attributes. They identify shapes, locate shapes on the faces of solids, sort real objects and explain the sorting rule, and...
