Pupils design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

For this patterns worksheet, students examine five strips of patterns and decide which of two shapes at the end should follow the pattern shown.

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

In this patterns activity, students examine five strips of geometric shapes and then decide which of two shapes at the end is the next one to follow each pattern.

Students investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

In this patterns worksheet, students examine five strips of geometric shapes and then decide which shape out of two shown at the end should follow at the end of each strip.

Second graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this shape identification lesson, 2nd graders view the characteristics for several different geometric shapes and create them using building blocks and other classroom...

In this patterns worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about what shape or number comes next in the pattern. Students complete 10 questions.

Pupils examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Students practice the concepts of time and rhythm using drum beats. They also create body shapes using verbal cues. The shapes made include stretched, curled, angular, or twisted. The rhythm of beats is increased or decreased to explore...

Students explore how math is relevant to Native Americans. Students investigate Indian culture through geometry. They describe and create geometric polygons and patterns. Students problem solve with tangram patterns to make Indian...

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

In this patterns worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which a series of numbers or shapes is analyzed. Students continue each pattern.

Students identify different shapes by using music. They use the shape in a song which follows the Hokey Pokey music. They participate in the song using different shapes.

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

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...

When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

For this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

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

In this prism investigation worksheet, students identify the patterns and complete the table of shapes for triangular prisms, cuboid prisms, and hexagonal prisms. Students write eight short answers.

In this prism investigation worksheet, students complete a table telling the shapes at the end of prisms, the number of sides at each end, and the number of edges and complete the pattern of a function machine. Students write eight answers.

Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.
