Recognizing Three Dimensional Shapes
In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.
Curated OER
Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures
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.
Curated OER
A Measuring Adventure
Students practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Students measure various items in the classroom, using their creative measurement system.
Curated OER
Folding Circles
Students explore circles. In this introductory geometry lesson, students cut out a circle and follow a series of instructions given by the teacher. Students fold the circle, answer questions, and draw conclusions.
Curated OER
Straight Graph Lines: Coordinates
Learners access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates lesson, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Learners complete several practice examples.

Bold Bridges
Students explore bridge construction. In this bridge building activity, students view bridge websites and discuss how bridges are designed and built. Students design and construct their own bridge using the directions provided.
Curated OER
Geometric Shapes
In this geometric shape worksheet, students complete a total of 6 questions about geometric shapes, labeling figures, drawing lines of symmetry, finding right angles, faces and sides.
Curated OER
Metric Rhyme
Students identify various units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students learn several chants that combine metric vocabulary words and actions to reinforce the concepts learned.
Curated OER
Net (Closed Cylinder)
In this math net worksheet, students cut out, fold, and assemble a closed cylinder. Students use the net provided to make the three dimensional figure.
Alabama Learning Exchange
Scaling Down the Solar System
Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.
Curated OER
Net (Triangular Prism)
In this net worksheet, learners use the pattern to create a triangular prism. Students cut out the pattern and fold on the dotted lines and paste it to make the solid figure.
Curated OER
Net (Rectangular Prism)
In this geometric net worksheet, students cut out a net and fold it on the correct lines before pasting or taping it to make a three dimensional rectangular prism.
Curated OER
Symmetry (house)
In this symmetry worksheet, students explore the idea of a shape being symmetrical. Students look at half a house on a piece of graph paper and visualize the other half exactly the same.
Curated OER
Pythagoras's Theorem
Students explore Pythagoras' Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students complete 4 pages of equations using Pythagoras's Theorem. Students complete 14 problems.
