How are a circle and triangle alike? How are they different? These are the types of questions children will answer while playing this fun geometry game. Including a variety of conventional and unconventional shapes, this activity allows...

Not all circles look the same! Expose shapes with the same name but different attributes through a matching exercise. Learners examine five shapes, matching them with a second set. For each, there is a shape bearing the same name, yet...

In this geometry worksheet, students determine what if 6 different shapes are a circle, square, triangle or a rectangle. Students bubble in their answers.

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Inscribing a square in a circle brings up a number of interesting geometry topics including triangle congruence and how to prove a quadrilateral is a square. This activity is followed up by finding the area of the square and determining...

In this shape lesson, learners cut out tangram shapes and create different pictures with them. They look at 3-D shapes as well. There is a nice, hands-on component built into this lesson.

Combine square dancing and a Swiss ball. There are quite a few square dance moves and how to do them while sitting on, or carrying a Swiss ball. Teach these square dance moves to the class. Then have them work together in small groups to...

There are an infinite number of points on a circle; can you find nine of them? After putting together a nine-point circle, pupils use constructions and their knowledge of triangle segments to determine the center of the circle. Learners...

Drawing shapes is a great way to learn about them. Learners draw circles, squares, and triangles based on  the directions provided in each of 4 boxes.

How well does your class know their shapes? This interactive shape quiz provides learners with four clues which they will use to determine identify each shape. This is an excellent way to assess how well learners know their shapes and...

Define plane shapes by their properties, then use this game to reinforce those skills. Learners use given properties as clues to determine each shape. They work to name ten different shapes, six of which are polygons.

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,...

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,...

In this visual thinking instructional activity, 2nd graders determine how many smaller shapes are within the four larger shapes. Shapes include circles, rectangles, triangles, and squares.

Students hunt for hidden geometric shapes and compare the properties of various shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students play a game of finding squares, circles, rectangles, and ovals that have been hidden around the...

Learners investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson plan, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Learners investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

When practicing identifying shapes, students need a variety of ways to practice this skill. Using this worksheet in which students match basic geometric shapes, students review their knowledge. The worksheet has students match four...

In this shape identification worksheet, students mark the correct answer to each of 4 multiple choice questions while working on-line. They choose from 4 choices as they identify a square, triangle, circle, and rectangle. They print the...

Match the shapes! There are multiple potential objectives here as young scholars match shapes using different colored lines. There are four starter shapes and learners draw lines connecting them to matching shapes from a larger group....

Pupils show what they know about shapes with a game that matches a shape word to its figure. Shapes in focus are circle, square, triangle, heart, diamond, rectangle, oval, and a star. 

In this basic shapes worksheet, students view labeled pictures of a circle, square, triangle, rectangle and oval. They are not asked to do anything with these shapes.
