Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

In this geometry skills activity, students respond to 4 questions that require them to examine geometric figures and change them to solid figures and plane figures.

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

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

In this identifying solids worksheet, students complete a chart of faces, edges and vertices for four geometric solids, then identify which solid is seen in three pictures.

A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

Learners explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Learners define geometric solids...

Young scholars explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. For this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Young scholars identify patterns between...

First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...

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

Explore finding the surface area of composite figures. Building on the previous lessons in the 29-part series, the 24th installment examines the surface area of three-dimensional solids. The focus is on decomposing composite figures and...

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this worksheet on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This worksheet could...

Learners investigate solids. In this geometry lesson, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

Three solid figures are lined up down the left side of the page to be compared to three nets down the right side. Learners simply decide if the corresponding net matches the solid figure. Be aware that the publisher's watermark is...

This hands-on instructional activity takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable...

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...

Let your learners pick and create a fun shape from this custom template. Shapes range from complex geometric figures to the more common cube and prism. Each page can be labeled with your personal directions. Additional printable listed...
