In this lesson, young scholars learn more about the characteristics of parallelograms by folding paper and measuring the angles in a parallelogram. Students use a ruler and protractor to draw parallelograms with given properties. Then,...

This activity operates in one of two modes: auto draw and create shape mode, allowing you to explore relationships between area and perimeter.

On this site students are instructed to locate different types of polygons on triangle grid paper. This page can be printed so that students can actually draw them. It also gives a definitions link for each polygon.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart is designed for an early childhood classroom and focuses on circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. Opportunities provided for student participation include drawing plane shapes,...

The introductory pages introduce the shapes and their attributes: triangle, rectangle, square, rhombus, circle, and oval. The additional pages allow students to practice shape recognition, tracing shapes, and drawing shapes.

Use this rhyming description of Max's Fantastical Zoo to make some amazing animals from geometric shapes. There is a teacher's guide for easy lesson planning.

This Shodor site gives a brief explanation of factorization, and it allows you "to find all of the factorizations of a given number and then draw the product as the area of a rectangle on a grid."

The resource consists of student notes, instructor notes, and an interactive activity. The activity allows learners to find the factors of a given number and then draw the product as the area of a rectangle on a grid.

Eighth graders are shown a drawing of a rectangle with a central triangle bordered by three right triangles. They are asked to prove whether or not the middle triangle is also a right triangle. Aligns with 8.G.B.

This computer tool allows students to compose and decompose shapes by making cuts and rearranging the pieces. The tool has an exploration section for learning exercises.

In this lesson, students will watch videos about shapes and identify shapes in their environment and in art. Links to the videos are at the bottom of the lesson overview, other material links are also provided.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Flipchart identifies and draws circles, squares, triangles, ovals (ellipses), and rectangles. Flipchart identifies spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones of various sizes, in various orientations and...

This lesson explains what are parallel and perpendicular lines and includes varied exercises and a video that shows how to draw a perpendicular line and a rectangle using a protractor or a triangular ruler.
