Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their partner...

In this triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem. First, they use the illustrated triangles and the data table to test the theorem. Then, students...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.

Youngsters explore visual arts by participating in a geometry identification activity. They read the book The Very Busy Spider and identify the techniques spiders use to create webs. Have you ever noticed that their webs are geometric...

In this transformations and translations in Geometry worksheet, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.

Working on symmetry in your class? If so, this worksheet might be for you. Learners observe different triangles and quadrilaterals, determine which are symmetrical, draw in the lines of symmetry, and color the symmetrical shapes. In...

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Students create a new playground design to present to elementary students during Playground safety week. They review basic geometry to use in observing and recording the equipment on a local playground. They research playground safety...

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson plan, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

For this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

For this exploring projective geometry worksheet, students use computer software for instruction, then answer 9 questions about 3D drawings.

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

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry activity, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape identification activity. In this figure dimensions lesson, students identify the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional shapes by their vertices and faces. Students examine blocks in...

Pupils work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Set your pupils up to start on geometry by teaching them some introductory terminology. Pupils learn the terms by reading a short passage and looking at examples. They then respond to five questions related to the text.

In this quilt patterns activity, 7th graders identify and complete 6 different problems that include various patterns using shapes. First, they fill the square with the polygons listed on the left as stated. Then, students use horizontal...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...
