Fifth graders are engaged in sorting and classifying geometric shapes of various colors and sizes. They discuss the properties of these shapes and illustrate a range of classifications using Venn diagrams.

Young scholars identify attributes of different geometric shapes. For this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Young scholars...

Help your students identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math lesson, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

Young elementary students will discover there are patterns all around them in their daily lives. In groups, they sort pattern blocks by size and color. Using the internet, they create their own type of patterns and share them with the...

Shape shifters examine and experiment with pattern shapes.  In this geometry lesson, they work in groups to name and describe pattern block shapes, and they discover the combinations of shapes that can be placed inside a hexagon.

First graders study the attributes of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. They sort shapes that are the same and those that are different into groups.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Students understand there are healthy and not healthy food choices. In this food pyramid instructional activity, students learn to make healthy choices by playing a traffic light game. Students recognize raw foods from the farm may not...

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.
