Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.
Curated OER
Magician Squares
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...
Curated OER
Looking Through the Algebraic Lens
Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.
Curated OER
Transformations-Shapes on the Move
Learners examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Learners practice making transformations with shapes.
Curated OER
Similar and Congruent
In this shapes worksheet, students decide if the given shapes are similar, congruent, or neither. Students complete 4 problems.
Curated OER
Ship Shape
Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

Patterns #2
For this pattern activity, students choose the shape that comes next in a pattern. Worksheet is from a subscription site with links and is labeled as a sample.
Curated OER
Recognizing Shapes
In this shape recognition worksheet, students complete 6 multiple choice problems, identifying shapes, telling what things are shaped like and which objects are specifically named shapes.
Curated OER
Shapes: Squares, Rectangles, Circles and Triangles
In this shape worksheet, students are given sets of shapes, selecting those given in a set of questions: squares, rectangles, circles or triangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.
