Second graders will be able to identify 2-dimensional shapes and tell the number of vertices and sides.

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the attributes of two-dimensional shapes.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students will work with 3-Dimensional shapes identifying attributes of the shapes and recreating them. Students will create, identify and describe 3-Dimensional shapes as part of the...

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

Analyze various shapes according to their reflective and rotational symmetries.

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Describing 3D shapes in Pre-K and Kindergarten is now an expectation as it is a key geometry standard. This resource contains 3D shapes activities and resources for practicing this standard. Included are chants, videos, games, poetry,...

The purpose of this task is for students to compose two-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape using tangram pieces. The teacher will read "Grandfather Tang's Story" and the students will use tangrams to compose the animals from...

Use this site to practice identifying shapes, colors, and animals with these interactive games.

Two and three-dimensional geometric shape are explored in these exercises. Each activity has teacher notes, activity instructions, and a worksheet when necessary.

Demonstrates how to calculate the area of two-dimensional shapes using formulas. Covers parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid, and circle. Includes a video modeling how to find the area of a circle and a triangle. [0:59]

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

Students will tell if a shape is 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

This interactive exercise focuses on discovering the relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

Explore two and three dimensional geometric shapes by creating shapes based on descriptions.
