Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

What a great way to explore fractions! Learners answer a series of questions related to three word problems involving fractions. They are required to use a diagram to describe their results.

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

Students recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.

Students demonstrate musical direction while singing alone and with others while reading music. They discuss and demonstrate shapes that describe the music and compare that to melodic direction. Students make music out of the letters...

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures 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.

In this patterns problem solving worksheet, students draw the 2 missing shapes in 3 sets of patterns. Students also respond to 1 short answer question.

In this using shapes in equations worksheet, 4th graders solve 15 simple multiplication and division equations by finding the value of each geometric shape.

Students work together and investigate the shapes of 50 states. They identify the states that they find hardest to recognize. The group then list the states in order from most difficult to just difficult to recognize and create a...

In this shape capture game worksheet, 8th graders work in pairs to plot quadrilaterals, then guess ordered pairs for each other's shape in order to locate the vertices on the grid;  can be used with other shape as well.

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Students, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in...

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

High schoolers will draw Lewis structures of common covalent compounds using a Chem 3D computer program. They will predict the shapes of the molecules, complete a data table, and formulate rules for predicting shapes of molecules. In the...

In this shapes worksheet, students analyze the shapes in 3 problems and name them. Students then draw the same shape again in the blank, making it taller than the one already there.

In this read and draw instructional activity, learners read a number at the beginning of a row, then draw that many of the shapes given, circles or triangles. Numbers 1-10 are used.

3-D shapes identification is the focus of this geometry worksheet. Students determine the name of eight different 3-D shapes. Answers appear at the end of the worksheet.

In this language arts worksheet, students trace circular shapes. Each of the eight shapes is printed in a dotted line. After tracing, students color in the shapes.
