So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target...

Students investigate triangles. For this shapes geometry lesson, students define and state the attributes for equilateral, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Students locate the prefix "tri" in a variety of words and make connections with...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Young scholars make a quilt. In this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Young scholars explore designs with triangles and squares and then...

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 learning exercise provides excellent...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Students identify shapes. In this geometry lesson, students cut out various shapes and create a "Shape Collage Pizza." Students glue their shapes onto a pizza template.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Students study about our dependence on the earth's resources for materials. They practice their knowledge of geometric shapes by recognizing them in the context of the story.

In this basic geometry skills worksheet, students examine rectangles, ovals, triangles, and squares as they color the shapes included on the worksheet.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

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...

Students use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance music can...

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Students explore geometry by utilizing stackable blocks in class. In this shape identification lesson plan, students discuss the different characteristics of squares, rectangles and circles while creating them with building blocks in...

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes lesson, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

Navajo art incorporates many fascinating shapes and designs. In this shapes lesson, students explore how shapes may be combined to create art and architecture. They also discover shapes in the world around them.

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

For this geometry worksheet, students examine a picture that has many hidden triangles. Students count the triangles they discover and color the picture.
