Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

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.

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...

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

Pupils establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.

Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.

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

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.

Middle schoolers are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each...

High schoolers analyze characteristics and properties of two and three-dimensional shapes in this geometry lesson. They follow detailed directions to use the Cabri Geometry II Application on their TI-89 calculator to construct a...

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. For this space shapes lesson, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and...

Students practice geometry skills. In this geometry lesson, students find the surface area of cubes and prisms, identify shapes on solids, and distinguish between 2-dimensional objects and solids.

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

You and your class will like this lesson plan on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and...

Middle schoolers work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see...

Tenth graders explore volume and surface area through percentages. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders analyze the surface area of two and three dimensional shapes, then use percents and ratio to compare the two.

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...

Elementary school learners investigate the attributes of a square. They discover that squares are polygons and examine squares found in everyday life. They concentrate on connecting the word, square, with the shape. As an...

Set your pupils up to start on geometry by teaching them some introductory terminology. Pupils learn the terms by reading a short passage and looking at examples. They then respond to five questions related to the text.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.
