Listen to a Shape
First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Properties of 2D Shapes
In this math worksheet, students study 5 basic geometric shapes. Students write a description for each, naming the shape, telling about the edges, the lengths and the corners.
Curated OER
Geometric Abstraction
Students create an abstract work of art that is made by repeating geometric shapes and lines, write concise instructions to reproduce the work of art and reproduce someone else's artwork via written instructions.

Finding the Perimeter
Finding the perimeter of a shape is one of the basic skills for young geometers to master. This presentation does a good job of giving them some practice. Each of the slides has a different shape that they must consider. A good, solid...

Simply Dazzling!
Color, shape, and pattern can be found and analyzed in almost any setting, but the context in which they are considered here will help connect art, social studies, and acculturation. Little ones check out the piece Eyedazzler Blanket to...
Illustrative Mathematics
Ice Cream Cone
Every pupil with a sweet tooth will be clamoring for this lab and analysis, particularly when they're allowed to eat the results! Volume and surface area formulas for cones are developed from models, and then extended to the printing of...
Curated OER
Shapetown
Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry activity, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.
Curated OER
Multiplying Polynomials
Students explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Students work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...
Curated OER
Fractions in Shapes
First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. In this fraction lesson plan, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This lesson plan is divided up into 3...
Curated OER
Shapes...the Beginning of Geometry
Students identify and name basic shapes and points. In this elementary geometry lesson, students use printable cut outs to name circles, triangles, and squares before playing a game with them. They play a game of "Pin the Tail on the...
Curated OER
Name the Shapes
In this math instructional activity, students color in 3 hearts red and name the other shapes. The other shapes include a square, rhombus, triangle, and circle.
Curated OER
Investigation Area of Geometric Shapes
Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.
Curated OER
Geometry Fun
Students learn the basic definitions of a quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle and square and explain the relationship/classification process between them.
Curated OER
Polygons in Real Life
Fourth graders identify and label different types of polygons in real life situations. Using a digital camera, they take pictures of polygons on the school grounds, tally the number of shapes found, and answer discussion questions.
Curated OER
Creating 3-D Shapes in Art
By learning techniques for drawing 3-D shapes, students can create realistic drawings.
Curated OER
Counting 1-5
Students explore numbers by participating in basic counting activities. In this early math lesson, students identify the numbers between 1 and 5 and read several books that demonstrate early counting. Students practice counting to 5 on...
Curated OER
Copy Cat
Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Triangles Introduction
Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....
Curated OER
Geometric Construction
Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...
Curated OER
Topology and Geomery
Students relate topology to polygons. In this geometry activity, students make the connection between different shapes and topologically equivalent relationships. They use Mobius strips to create and move shapes around.
Curated OER
Geometric Collages
Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...
