Shaping Up with Nature at Black Bayou Lake
Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...
Curated OER
Shape Hunt
Young scholars explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. For this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Young scholars describe the attributes of their shape and...

Distributions—Center, Shape, and Spread
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.
Curated OER
Tiling Tessellations
Young scholars explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry activity, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Young scholars create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.
Curated OER
Square Corners
What type of corners does this shape have? Young geometers examine 12 shapes, circling the square corners in each if they have any. There are two examples demonstrating this concept, but be sure scholars understand the difference between...

What Shape Am I?
First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...
Curated OER
What Shape am I?
Students analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They find shapes in their environment, and communicate why it is like the shape of their choice and not like another shape.
Curated OER
Solid Shapes challenge
In this recognizing shapes worksheet, students identify the pictures that have round or rectangular shapes, count each shape, and write the total numbers. Students solve eleven problems.
Curated OER
Shape Tool
Young scholars explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Young scholars identify and draw one line of...

Branding Circles, Squares, Rectangles, Triangles
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...
Curated OER
Red Circle, Red Circle, What Do You See?
Young learners explore shapes and colors. They listen to Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. and use the same language pattern to create a color and shape book of their own. After that, with the leftover magazine...

Polygon Sort Sheet
What makes a polygon a polygon and how many different types are there? Invite your scholars to learn and discuss that question with this polygon sort sheet. Learners cut out each polygon and sort them by their different attributes.
Curated OER
Attributes of Plane Shapes
In this math worksheet, students study a grouping of random geometric shapes including circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Students follow directions to color all the similar shapes the same color.
Curated OER
Combining Attribute Blocks
For this geometric shapes worksheet, students analyze the colored attribute blocks and find the figures that can be made by combining those blocks. Students color the figures that are possible to make and draw an X through the ones that...

Making Pictures from Smaller Shapes
Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
Curated OER
Shapes and Their Insides
Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...
