Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

Invite your first graders to compose and decompose two and three-dimensional figures with this fun, hands-on lesson plan. They investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart two-dimensional shapes with rubber...

Where is the vertex? Each of these three-dimensional figures is drawn so learners can see all sides and corners. They examine an example before trying six on their own. Some of these will be tricky, so be sure kids have covered this...

Where is the line of symmetry in these shapes? Review this concept using the visual guide at the top of the page, explaining how some shapes have multiples lines. Consider demonstrating this concept with large cut-outs, physically...

Can your third graders spot the differences between these geometric shapes? After studying several sections of triangles, rectangles, and other polygons, learners circle the shape described in each set of instructions. For extra...

If you're looking for some perimeter practice problems for beginners, you've found them! Learners reference an example that takes them through the steps of finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle. Then, they complete nine on their...

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

Which shape is the same? Young geometers match a triangle, circle, rectangle, and square to their identical counterparts, connecting them with a line from left to right. Then, they do the same thing with a set of four circular shapes,...

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...

For this attribute of solid shapes reteaching worksheet, 1st graders review the meaning of faces, corners, curves, and edges. They complete 8 examples by circling the curves, faces, edges, and corners on the given shapes.

Compare and classify 2-D shapes! Kindergarteners inspect the attributes of plane shapes and examine shapes in everyday life. They label the circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles they find. This is the website where you can find the...

Let's partition rectangles into equal parts. Assess learners on their ability to divide shapes into equal parts, and their ability to explain their thinking.

Data starts to tell a story when it takes shape. Learners describe skewed and symmetric data. They then use the graphs to estimate mean and standard deviation. 

Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

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...

Some of these may look congruent, but examine them closely. There are three sets of shapes here for scholars to analyze as they circle all the congruent figures. For each set, there are three congruent shapes which are oriented in...

Which shape is pointing the same way? There are five starting shapes here, all irregular. Learners examine a row of shapes following each and draw a circle around the one that is pointing the same way. Enforce directional vocabulary by...

What a fun activity for younger learners! Using this resource, they can discuss the attributes of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and ovals, and also engage in a motivating activity. For those learning about simple shapes, this...

Kindergartners listen to a story read by their teacher, then use magnetic shape pieces to construct simple designes. They "build" their own house using pre-cut paper shapes. This age-appropriate lesson would be an excellent choice for...

Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.

Which of these shapes is congruent? Young geometers examine five familiar shapes: triangle, oval, rectangle, triangle, and circle. Each is followed by a set of shapes, of which one is congruent. They circle the congruent...

Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

What can we find out about the data from the way it is shaped? Looking at displays that are familiar from previous grades, the class forms meaningful conjectures based upon the context of the data. The introductory lesson plan...
