Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

For this spelling quiz worksheet, students study the four multiple choice options for the shape, color, and size words. Students then write the letter of the correctly spelled word in the blank.

Learners explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Learners explore symmetry in real life objects.

Each of these sets of squares represents a fraction: Can your scholars match them correctly to the numeric fraction list? This may be a good way to show learners numerators and denominators, as they will see them in the fractions and...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

In this triangle worksheet, 6th graders draw and cut out a triangle, cut it into three pieces, then arrange the pieces to make new shapes.

In this area and perimeter learning exercise, students find each for 6 given shapes. A website reference for additional resources and an answer key are provided.

Learners compare and contrast world maps and globes. They convert a 3-dimensional globe to a 2-dimensional map. They are introduced to the Mercator map projection. They observe map distortions of shape, area, distance, directions and angle.

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Learners explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...
