Learners read "Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes" by Stuart Murphy and view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes. They identify shapes presented in the book and then identify shapes found in their classroom.

For this geometric shapes worksheet, students identify 4 drawings as polygons or not, 1 drawing as regular or not and then write the name of 3 solid figures.

In this solid figures worksheet, students learn to identify solid figures by their faces, edges, and vertices. Students solve six word problems about the solid figure characteristics.

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.

Build a solid understanding of trigonometric transformations through exploration. Learners work in teams to analyze the effects of different algebraic components on the graph of a sine function. 

Plastic math? Have young learners count and name the number of plastic items in their centers. Kindergartners match sight word cards to the number of plastics in a given group, while learning that plastics come in all different shapes,...

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids activity, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Here is a way to help your charges identify circles and spheres. In this shapes geometry and technology lesson plan, students identify and draw circles and explain the related attributes. They recognize circles and spheres while...

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

Students identify and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects and compare and contrast their attributes. They identify shapes, locate shapes on the faces of solids, sort real objects and explain the sorting rule, and...

For this chemistry worksheet, students identify and describe the differences between solids and liquids. They respond to six questions related to matter and then, draw their favorite one.

Third graders define matter as anything that takes up space and has mass, recognize, through experimentation and observation, that matter exists in three forms, including solid, liquid, and gas, and discuss characteristics of each form...

Second graders organize solids into categories, depending upon whether they will roll, slide or do both on a home made ramp. Students describe and compare attributes of three-dimensional geometric solids.

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...

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric lesson, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a lighthouse scene...

Students study pyramids. In this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Students will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.

Students explore permafrost.  In this 3 states of matter lesson, students identify characteristics of solids and liquids.  Students observe water and soil melting and freezing at various temperatures.  Students make...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Fourth graders are asked to name different shapes.Four to five students to share their answers with the class. The teacher leads the discussion in geometry about the properties associated with shapes.

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson plan, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional...
