A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple learning exercise prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes lesson, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

First graders explore geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Students investigate circles and spheres. For this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

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.

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...

Young scholars investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students then...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...
