In this 2D shapes worksheet, students fill in the blanks to name and describe the following four 2D shapes: circle, square, triangle and rectangle.

In this 2D shapes learning exercise, students find the rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagon, and triangle. Students have 3 shapes to choose from in each of the 4 problems.

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

In this identifying parallelograms worksheet, students look at the colorful shapes and identify the ones that have two pairs of parallel lines.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

In this 2D shapes activity, students complete activities such as describing features, matching edges, draw shapes, and more. Students complete 8 activities.

A one-pager featuring 2-D quadrilaterals.

Introduce youngsters to the important role shape and form play in art with this extensive collection of activities and projects. From teaching first graders how to create mandalas to engaging third and fourth graders in the design...

Students explore intersecting lines. In this intersecting lines lesson, students investigate shapes consisting of parallel, perpendicular, and similar lines. Students investigate these lines in shapes around them.

In this geometry activity, students draw 6 different shapes as requested by 6 specific directives in the circles provided. Students draw 2D and 3D shapes.

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

In this concave and complex 2-D shapes worksheet, students study, analyze and determine and circle which shapes out of 6 are concave pentagons.

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students identify and label 8 shapes as one of the following: pentagon, octagon, rectangle, hexagon, semicircle, equilateral triangle, heptagon and/or isosceles triangle.

Create three dimensional objects in an applied science lesson. The goal is for your class to recognize, compare, and model shapes. Using cookie cutters and clay or play dough, they create models for three-dimensional shapes.

In this shapes worksheet, students pick the correct names of the 2D shapes, and pick out the correct 2D shape. Students complete 4 problems total.

In this ESL 2D and 3D shapes worksheet, students assemble the booklet and read different types of shapes. Students then respond to 5 fill in the blank questions, 1 short answer question, and 5 matching questions regarding the information...

In this shape worksheet, students find specific shapes or angles and color them the correct color that is indicated at the top of the worksheet. There are 8 worksheets to select from on this page.

For this shape recognition worksheet, students study each of the shapes and then write the names of the two-dimensional polygons on the lines.

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have in...

Elementary school learners investigate the attributes of a square. They discover that squares are polygons and examine squares found in everyday life. They concentrate on connecting the word, square, with the shape. As an...

In this math worksheet, students study 5 basic geometric shapes. Students write a description for each, naming the shape, telling about the edges, the lengths and the corners.

In this faces, edges, and vertices worksheet, students write how many faces, edges, and vertices each shape has. Students complete this for 2 plane shapes and 2 2D shapes.
