Students act as amateur archaeologists as they participate in their own "dig" to explore and record unusual shapes. In this shape exploration lesson, students use trowels and shovels to dig, and learn to sift the dirt with screens to...

Here's a reading comprehension instructional activity that focuses on congruent geometric shapes. After reading a short article about congruent figures, kids respond to a series of comprehension questions.

Pupils use complementary media to fill up the art space with repeated shapes. They use a water and wax technique to manipulate the surface of the artwork.

In this shapes worksheet, students practice tracing 5 different sizes of squares and then draw 5 on their own in the space provided. A good, basic worksheet for working on fine motor skills.

In this shapes worksheet, students will compare similar shapes that are different sizes by drawing a line from the longer shape to the shorter shape.

A triangle, square, hexagon, and circle all have a perimeter of one unit. Eighth graders must attempt to find the area of each and arrange them in order from least to greatest areas. A terrific task for applying four different...

Fifth graders observe and compare apples. In this apples lesson, 5th graders work in groups to record the physical characteristics of a variety of apples. Students predict each apples weight and then weigh them to see if they were...

In this worksheet on size, students match a set of long and short shapes from two columns. Each column had 4 shapes. Shapes: triangle, rectangle, diamond and oval.

In this learning exercise on size, students look at shapes in columns and circle the longest on. Worksheet is set up in 2 columns of 4 shapes each.

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes lesson, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Students explore geometry by utilizing computer software. In this shape identification lesson, students define several geometric shapes by the characteristics that classify them. Students draw and cut out geometric shapes using their...

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.

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Students create their own collagraph relief plate and print. Using basic shapes, they develop a center of interest within their relief plate. They also create a non-objective design with shapes using the principles of design. They are...

For this early childhood comparing plane shapes worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

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

Let's study 2-D shapes! Young mathematicians compare and classify shapes according to attributes. They evaluate shape riddles and predict the shape being described. Here is the website where you can find the...

In this fraction activity, young scholars manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great activity for getting...

How tall can your tower get? Implement shapes, building strategies, teamwork, and prediction in this interactive tower activity. Learners discuss past experiences with stacking materials, recalling ways they kept it from falling over....

Pupils explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Examine measurable characteristics of objects to build an understanding of the different ways you can discuss an object's size when comparing it to other objects. After whole group instruction, the class compares and organizes several...

Learners investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...
