Meet Morisu in the dojo. Help him with symmetrical objects and shapes!

Join Mel and Alba and find out more about 3D shapes and the position of objects.

Discover 2D shapes and 3D objects from different views in Antarctica!

As a whole group, students will sort a collection of three-dimensional objects into categories by shape. There should be several that fall into each of the categories below: Aligns with 1.G.A.1.

We are learning about how shape attributes helps us to see how shapes are alike and different. This site provides four resources for shapes including 3-D.

In this instructional activity on 2D shapes, 3rd graders will learn to discriminate quadrilaterals from other polygons. Additionally, they will be able to identify attributes of a square, rectangle, and rhombus.

The purpose of this task is to help students differentiate between a polygon and the region inside of a polygon so that they understand what is being measured when the perimeter and area are being found. Aligns with 3.MD.D.

Second graders will identify the attributes of 3D shapes and measure the edges in inches and centimeters. This lesson plan contains a detailed plan and videos of students engaged in the activity.

The purpose of this task is for students to decompose a figure into rectangles and then find the total area by adding the area of all of its smaller, non-overlapping rectangles. Aligns with 3.MD.C.7.d.

Identifying 2D shapes in common objects and sorting according to shapes connects the real world to learning shape names and attributes.

After successive folds of a piece of origami paper, a student must explain why the shape made is a regular octagon. Aligns with G-CO.A.3 and G-CO.D.12.

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Students will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
