Bring three-dimensional shapes to life in your classroom. First introduce the vocabulary of three-dimensional shapes, such as sphere, cube, and pyramid. Then, show your kids examples of how to use two-dimensional objects draw...

In this geometry worksheet, students trace dotted lines to draw a rectangle. They color a stack of rectangles, and draw a rectangle independently.

Students explore tessellations. For this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their...

Apply area concepts to help farmers and settle county disputes. Scholars use a given diagram and information about an insecticide spraying campaign to determine the monetary benefit to farmers. They then decide which of two counties has...

First graders combine different shapes to create an image.  In this geometry lesson, 1st graders utilize squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and arc to draw a picture.  Students share their creation with their class...

In this shape worksheet, students draw shapes around pictures and label the shape drawn, using circles, triangles, rectangles and squares. 

Middle schoolers discuss the importance of scaling drawings. In this math lesson, students create a scaled drawing of circuit boards. They explain why accuracy is very important when scaling.

In this area worksheet, students find the area of four rectangles when given the drawings with grid markings inside each. They use the area formula to find the area of five rectangles. This worksheet is intended to be used as a part of a...

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of rectangles.  They find the width when given the area.  Students graph rectangles and solve word problems involving rectangles.  This three-page worksheet...

Students construct a variety of four-sided figures using a K'NEX Geometry Set. They view and discuss pictures of shapes, then in small groups they construct as many four-sided shapes as possible using the K'NEX Rods and Connectors. As a...

In this algebraic manipulation instructional activity, students examine a given number grid, find the pattern and determine an equation to fit the situation. They calculate the area of given rectangles. Students solve real life problems...

Students match the following 10 shapes by drawing a line from their names to their pictures: circle, square, rectangle, cylinder, cube, sphere, oval, triangle, octagon and hexagon. This geometry worksheet provides excellent practice for...

In this area worksheet, students multiply to find the area of a rectangle. They are told that this is the floor plan of an attic. Students compute the number of rolls of insulation needed to cover the floor as well as the total cost to...

In this circle and rectangle activity, students identify a circle and connect-the-dots from number one to number ten to draw a rectangle. Students problem solve one dot-to-dot activity.

In this fractions worksheet, students draw pictures, circles, or rectangles to represent the mixed numbers given. Students complete 10 problems.

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

Dawn, a fictitious student, drew a long rectangle shape in her math journal, and now your class will explore it! They find the measurements of each side, total the perimeter, and find the area. Consider using this as inspiration: have...

Apply concepts of scale and ratio to determine relationships in irregular figures. Learners determine the ratio of the perimeters of two figures composed of rectangles and circles. After, they apply similar concepts to find the ratio of...

In this plane figures instructional activity, students identify the squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles by coloring and tracing them and determine understanding by drawing and printing the names for the figures. Students complete...
