Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

In this area of shapes unit, upper graders participate in hands-on problem solving activities to find the formulas for the area of a parallelogram, a triangle, and a trapezoid. They manipulate the geoboard to explore relationships among...

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

Evaluate young mathematicians' understanding of area and perimeter with this series of three assessment tasks. Challenging students to not only calculate the area and perimeter of irregular shapes, but to explain in writing their...

From polyhedrons to platonic solids, here is a lesson that will have your classes talking! As an introduction to platonic solids, scholars cut and fold nets to create the three-dimensional solids. They use an interactive component to...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Students 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...

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

In this corners and sides worksheet, students, with a partner, explore and calculate the answers to six word problems that involve a variety of different geometric shapes.

You can't judge a book by its cover ... or a cube structure by just one face. A creative lesson looks at the shape of several cube structures described by level slices. The 20th lesson of the 29-part series expects young mathematicians...

In this math who am I worksheet, students read geometric shapes and math terms clues, fill in the blanks, and check their answers by circling each third letter in boxes with answers. Students write eight answers.

Provide a little extra support for your emerging mathematicians with a personal word wall. Including graphics and images that support children with learning to count, identify colors and shapes, and read high frequency words,...

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

Test scholars mathematic skills with an assessment addressing addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value, measurement, geometric shapes, expanded notation; and their ability to compare numbers, write number...

In this geometric solids activity, students examine 4 different solid shapes then record the number of faces, the number of edges and the name of each shape.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

We have formulas for finding the volume of geometric shapes, but what if the shape is irregular? Lesson describes how to find volume through water displacement. After a demonstration, scholars practice in small groups. Then analysis...

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

Second graders create a shape garden. In this polygons lesson plan, 2nd graders practice making shapes using a geoboard and read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns.  Students also design a shape garden using...

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...
