Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Students create their own mandalas...

Students explore models of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students use hands-on manipulatives to explore three-dimensional shapes. Students predict whether each shape will roll or slide.

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

Junior geometers practice stating the names of different geometric shapes. They define and name the different shapes and compare and contrast shapes to one another. They also relate the shapes to objects in the real world.

Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

The illustrations of Ezra Jack Keats in The Snowy Day inspire young artists to examine shapes in illustrations and to use these shapes to create their own watercolor resist painting.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Students recognize the features of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. Students create solid figures with marshmallows and toothpicks.  Students create...

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

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...

A list of instructions for this exciting Geometry Jeopardy game is included on slide 2. There are a total of 25 clues and 5 categories, including: solids, triangles, lines, angles, and grab bag. Tip: Play this Jeopardy game with your...

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids lesson, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture, weight, size,...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

In this recognizing the importance of recycling worksheet, students complete a cryptograph, read facts about milk and juice cartons, and read about making crafts from trash. Students write 10 answers.
