In this geometry worksheet, students draw a line from each geometric shape shown on the left to the matching shape on the right side of the page. They work with plane figures such as a triangle, an oval, a rectangle, and a hexagon.

In this 2D shapes activity, students find the rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagon, and triangle. Students have 3 shapes to choose from in each of the 4 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...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

This geometric pattern will appeal to learners' artistic sides as they color various shapes based on a guide: they color circles blue, triangles red, squares green, and rectangles yellow. What does this finished design remind scholars...

From polyhedrons to platonic solids, here is a lesson that will have your classes talking! As an introduction to platonic solids, scholars cut and fold nets to create the three-dimensional solids. They use an interactive component to...

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...

Customers often want ribbon around fancy cakes, but how does a baker know how much ribbon to buy? Scholars view a cake with multiple layers in different geometric shapes. They must figure the perimeter and circumference and add them...

Students observe how certain geometric shapes can be used to make some structures rigid and others flexible. The activity involves construction of a 30-60 right triangle, folding while following directions, and identifying polygons.

Students explore characteristics of shapes by making and using tangram sets. They discover how the tangram pieces are related to one another, and determine how many different combinations of the triangles, squares, and parallelograms in...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Using this worksheet, students practice identifying basic shapes, such as an oval, rectangle, triangle, and hexagon. This worksheet would be ideal for preschool or kindergarten students.

In this math instructional activity, students investigate simple geometric shapes in the world around them. Students examine 3 detailed pictures which contain many shapes, then answer 7 questions about the picture. Then students complete...

Students look at several photographs of animals. They compare and contrast their forms by visually breaking the images into simple geometric shapes. Students draw the simple geometric shapes that comprise the animal. They fill in the...

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

Learners select a geometric figure and find an example of the figure in their surroundings. They photograph the figure and write a proof to accompany it. They match photos to proofs.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which a given geometric shape is recognized and circled in a group of shapes. Students cross out the shape in each set that is not like the others.

First graders identify the given math shape and then click and drag the shape name to the correct shape.

In this shapes and colors worksheet, students analyze a picture of a glass of lemonade and trace all the circles and squares. Students color the shapes according to the directions.

In this shapes and colors worksheet, students analyze a whimsical picture of a face and trace all the squares and ovals they see. Students color the shapes according to the directions.

Use this resource as an anticipatory set before a lesson on geometric shapes. A hidden picture slowly appears to reveal a circle, cube, and cylinder. It is a colorful presentation.
