Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

Students find two dimensional shapes in three dimensional figures. They determine the shapes that make up the faces of three dimensional figures of common classroom objects such as crayon boxes.

Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.

Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  For this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...

For this 3 dimensional figures worksheet, students study the 10 3-dimensional figures. Students identify and label each of the 10 figures.

Young scholars make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

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 identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson plan, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

See how art can communicate the idea of working together with your class. They will view art and describe space, color, shape, and lines in art. Then they will overlap in their art to show a sense of space. In the end, they will be able...

Explore the making of a pinch pot using this resource. Learners discuss the properties of clay, including its molecular structure. Then, they make their own clay pot. As they work, they identify the techniques used to make a pinch pot,...

In this solid shapes learning exercise, students learn to identify and solve word problems that use solid shapes. Students solve six word problems about solid shapes.

Through the use of Internet, video, and hands-on activities, youngsters learn the parts and characteristics of a circle. This fantastic lesson has some excellent website activities included in the plan. Your kids will have a much greater...

Fourth graders explore geometric properties and relationships in a two-dimensional work of art. They first search for and identify polygons in a Cubist painting and then use polygons to create their own Cubist portrait of a classmate.

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the lesson, they use the shapes they made and...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

In this three-dimensional graphing learning exercise students identify the coordinates of the vertex of shown figures. The first three shapes show all answers. The following 8 shapes are on coordinate dot paper, with all three axis shown...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

Learners view objects sorted by one characteristic and name that characteristic.  In this sorting rule lesson, students explore to find a new characteristic and write a description of that rule.  In early grades the rule might...

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Students explore, examine and study the symmetry of the flags of individual countries in the EU. They identify and describe the reflection and rotation symmetries of two-dimensional shapes and assess how symmetry changes with respect to...
