In this shapes worksheet, students practice tracing 5 diamonds, draw 3 diamonds on their own and then color the 5 diamonds found in a box filled with different types of shapes.

Young scholars explore characteristics of shapes by making and using tangram sets. They discover how the tangram pieces are related to one another, and determine how many different combinations of the triangles, squares, and...

Thirteen different quadrilaterals make up this page of shapes with endless possibilities to learn and discover. 

Students examine the solar system. In this space instructional activity, students identify the order of the planets and their relative size to the sun. Students create a scale model of our solar system using a variety of household objects.

Geoboards can take up a lot of space in the classroom; instead use this 5x5 geoboard paper! Six geoboards and lines for writing are included in this multi-use printable and template. 

A General Certificate of Secondary Education math review has class members make basic constructions. Using a protractor and a ruler along with a compass, pupils develop drawings of triangles with given measurements. Scholars use their...

In this Shape Rocket instructional activity, students move across a game board according to the spinner. The spinner includes eight different geometric shapes.

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Pupils investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Learners describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.

Show your class one way in which art and math are related by teaching them about M.C. Escher. Class members read a brief passage and then respond to five related questions.

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Learners are asked to name (write) all the shapes they see in a picture of New York City. However this is not a picture of the city, but of one blimp and a building. Pupils write the names of the shapes they see on the line provided....

Young scholars analyze how repeated body movements and shapes can represent and extend patterns. In this pattern analysis lesson, students discuss patterns in dance, math, and everyday living. Young scholars demonstrate a dance using a...

Learners analyze a symmetrical stamp design with an equal balance of light and dark to create a pattern in succession. For this shape design lesson, students review concepts of sign, symbol and language across cultures. Learners analyze...

Students 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.

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Practice finding the area of squares and rectangles. Complete with a grid for third graders to measure each side, this resource will be helpful. Though the shapes vary in size, they all have four sides to make measurement easy. Pupils...

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.

Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

Challenge your learners to give clear and concise directions in this shape-name practice activity. In partners, they place a dividing "wall" between them, with pattern blocks and a grid on each side. Partner A places one block at a time...

Students make several models of the solar system to learn the positions of the planets in the solar system as well as relative distances and sizes. Creation of these models will help them identify the planets by size, shape, color,...
