Which shapes are symmetrical? Third graders decide which shapes have lines of symmetry, and which shapes are not symmetrical. They work on 13 shapes and symbols, four of which have lines already drawn through them. Use this resource to...

Enhance your geometry lesson by working with shapes. Fourth graders follow lines of symmetry to complete ten shapes, most of them currently triangles. Have pupils color each half of their shapes to reinforce the idea of symmetry!

Combine geometry and fractions with an innovative worksheet. After your lesson on 1/3, have second graders shape 1/3 of each geometric shape. Shapes include squares, circles, rectangles, and polygons. In the second section, pupils write...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes. This...

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. For this geometry lesson, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram pieces.

Have fun with shapes! Third graders read a set of instructions and circle the shape in the description. They work on recognizing parallel sides and right sides. Use this resource as homework after your geometry lesson.

Shapes in art, shapes in stories, shapes in the environment, shapes all around. A multi-part lesson plan that includes looking at the artist Paul Klee's work, reading books about shapes, taking a walk in the neighborhood and identifying...

Students read the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and study geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify geometric shapes and their properties. Students create a geo-critter.

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Intended for beginners to geometry, an area of a rectangle problem has scholars draw out the units within the shape. They segment it into four rows and six columns to determine how many squares the rectangle is made of and, eventually,...

Students learn the basic definitions of a quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle and square and explain the relationship/classification process between them.

Learners write an original diamante poem about a shape of their choice. They examine how to write a diamante poem, and select a shape and write a poem using Microsoft Word software.

Students explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Students utilize inference skills to...

Young scholars create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Students study polygons. In this math instructional activity, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Face the vertex of two-dimensional shapes and discover what each figure requires as part of its classification. With one shape per slide, learners see what makes each shape special and compare it to others with similar qualities. 

n this geometric lesson, students define and identify two dimensional shapes based on their attributes. They complete worksheets based on the geometric concepts.

Students conduct an experiment.  In this geometry lesson, students practice identifying, describing and comparing geometric solids.
