Learners 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...

Students sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Pupils sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Students identify and sketch the nets for sphere. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between two and three dimensional shapes. They find the surface area of each sphere.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Students find the surface area of cones. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the dimensions of each three-dimensional shape and use the correct formula to solve the problem. They relate concepts of cones to the real world.

In this math activity, high schoolers are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

Young scholars create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry activity, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Students use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Learners investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students recognize, describe, and perform transformations (rotation/turn, reflection/flip, and translation/slide) on two dimensional shapes.

A chart in this activity prompts students to list the number of faces, vertices, and edges in each of five shapes. Additionally, students provide the number of faces that meet at each vertex as well as the number of sides of each face....

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

Young scholars 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 compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another lesson, students use data from the diagram to write an attribute...

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. For this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

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

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon instructional activity, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Students explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification instructional activity, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Students identify patterns between...

Second graders make boats by folding paper. They identify and draw shapes made during the creating process and place lines of symmetry on them. They demonstrate their understanding by completing an activity sheet imbedded in this plan.
