Middle and high schoolers solve fifteen problems from six exercise sets covering transformations, reflections, rotations, and enlargements. The solutions are provided.

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

More practice provided here for your young learners! They will find the area of two squares and one rectangle. There's open workspace for your learners to calculate the area. Note that the multiplication required to solve these problems...

After third and fourth graders understand how to find the area of squares and rectangles, give them this sheet for practice. There are three squares and three rectangles included here, but there isn't a ton of workspace. 

Youngsters identify and draw polygons including squares, rectangles, and right triangles. In this polygons lesson plan, everyone draws these shapes that have right angles in their math journals.

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Shapes are all around us! Kindergartenrs identify shapes in their world and guess the shape being described. They participate in a shape hunt.

Young mathematicians classify squares according to attributes. They sort squares according to specific attributes. Learners explore squares in repeating patterns and order squares according to size. Engaging extension activities are...

Looking for a quick introduction or review for area formulas?  Terminology and formulas for the area of squares, rectangles and triangles is presented. Connections with exponents and the Pythagorean Theorem are demonstrated.

Fifth graders will use geoboards to construct parallelograms. They will determine the area of a rectangle and then apply that thinking to determine the area of a parallelogram. Note: The format of this lesson is much like a PowerPoint,...

What shape do I see? Pupils will use what they know about geometric figures to determine which shape is hidden behind the squares. The shapes identified in the game: square, triangle, hexagon, and decagon. This is a great warm-up activity.

Introduce the names and properties of basic 2-D shapes. Images and defining features of the circle, rectangle, triangle, and square are shown. Each image is colorful and includes a happy, smiling face, perfect for younger learners.

Triangles, circles, and rectangles are featured in a colorful, one-page instructional activity that defines and illustrates these shapes. Read the explanations with your first graders and have them count the number of shapes in a given...

Get your geometers familiar with shapes as they circle, color, shade, and count sets of rectangles, triangles, circles, squares, and trapezoids. For each of the 10 sets, they examine six figures and follow instructions to mark the...

Which is heavier, a ladybug or a ship? Learners will have fun with this weight comparison worksheet, that uses visuals to help them determine which is heavier or lighter. They complete two comparisons for each. Lastly, they examine four...

Kindergartners demonstrate their understanding of the position of objects in the environment by drawing a circle around all the pictured objects positioned above the line.  They then draw and X on top of everything below the...

Here are some fun preposition challenges for your pupils! They draw familiar pairs of shapes (triangle, circle, square, star, and diamond) based on relative location prompts. The terms include beside, above,...

What are these shapes? Learners examine pairs of six familiar shapes: circle, oval, triangle, hexagon, square, and rectangle. Each pair is placed together because of a common attribute, which is described above. Learners name the...

Kindergartners demonstrate their ability to identify seven different shapes by labeling each of the 28 examples on the activity. Learners must be able to identify rectangles, diamonds, squares, ovals, triangles, circles, and pentagons.

Bring shapes onto the pitching mound! There are two diagrams here depicting a basketball court and a baseball field. Learners identify the shapes they recognize on each. They get a little guidance for the first one, but you should note...

Although there isn't anything for kids to complete in this shapes handout, they can use it as a guide for drawing shapes and recognizing their attributes. There are eight shapes described here: circle, oval, triangle, rectangle,...

What type of shape is this? Learners practice identifying shape attributes as they name a parallelogram and an oval and count the sides of a cube and a triangle. There are multiple-choice answers for the shape-name questions, so...

Each of these 10 shapes comes with a question for learners to answer as they analyze its attributes. They examine the following shapes: hexagon, trapezoid, pentagon, circle, diamond, parallelogram, rectangle, triangle,...

Explore some of the lesser-known shapes in this matching activity: oval, trapezoid, parallelogram, cross, and hexagon. Learners examine a set of the shapes and match them to a list of names. It may be confusing for some to...
