Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

In this geometry skills worksheet, students examine 6 geometric figures and identify them as spheres, cylinders, cones, or cubes.

In this geometry skills instructional activity, learners examine 6 geometric figures and identify them as spheres, cylinders, cones, or cubes.

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

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

In this 2D and 3D figure worksheet, students name different shapes and decide if they are polygons or not. Students complete 8 problems.

In this sides and vertices worksheet, students complete how many sides or vertices are in the shapes given to them. Students complete 8 problems.

In this geometric shape worksheet, student identify shapes in a geometric collage, write the number of sides for each and color them designated colors.

For this naming shapes worksheet, students write the name of given shapes, then write why they named shapes as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

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

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Bring three-dimensional shapes to life in your classroom. First introduce the vocabulary of three-dimensional shapes, such as sphere, cube, and pyramid. Then, show your kids examples of how to use two-dimensional objects draw...

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...

Kids usually love crayon resist projects. It is so fascinating for them to see how the dark paint accentuates and resists the waxy crayon. Here are instructions for executing a crayon resist project of your own. Tip: Make the project fit...

Pupils practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Students identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

In this math worksheet, students examine 6 geometric figures and a fraction for each. Students divide the shape and shade the correct number of parts to illustrate the fraction.

In this completing patterns worksheet, students complete patterns with geometric shapes and the numbers 1-10. They color the geometric shapes with at repeating patterns.

Learners explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Third graders slide, turn, and flip their bodies to explain sliding, turning, and flipping geometric shapes.

Students construct a weather vane using their knowledge of some geometric shapes. In this weather lesson, students work in pairs to create a weather vane in order to measure wind direction. Students follow precise...

In this math worksheet, students learn to match the name of a geometric figure with the picture. Students examine a drawing of a geometric shape, then circle the word that matches it.
