In this shapes learning exercise, 1st graders look at 3 sets of different shapes. Students identify each set of shapes as hexagons, pentagons and/or octagons.

For this tessellations worksheet, students identify shapes such as hexagons, octagons and other regular polygons and determine if the shapes will tessellate. They explore why some regular polygons tessellate while others do not. This...

In this polygons worksheet, students name the 6 different colored shapes, choose any 3 polygons to draw and color on a grid, while adding a right angled triangle and a rhombus.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Young scholars follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

Students explore a variety of shapes and angles and create mobiles with information about a selected polygon. Both common and "not-so common" polygons are examined.

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.

First graders identify different kinds of lines found in common shapes. They discover ways in which an artist utilizes lines in a painting.

In this lengths, areas and shapes learning exercise, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

In this comparing shapes worksheet, students use a word box to help fill in blanks in sentences, comparing and contrasting various shapes.

Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

In this optimization of satellites worksheet, students read about the Octagonal IMAGE satellite and solve 4 problems related to the size and shape of the satellite and the solar cells used to power the satellite. Students find the mass...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry learning exercise, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of...

In this angle bisector worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 23 various types of geometry problems. First, they find the angles listed in the figure shown. Then, students determine the sum of the interior angles of a polygon. They...

Young geometers identify prisms and pyramids based on the number of edges they have. Answers vary from hexagonal and rectangular prisms to pentagonal and octagonal pyramids. 

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

In this mathematics worksheet, students solve a number of problems by counting each shape and graphing the amount to the right in height. Then they circle the shape that appears the most often on the sheet.

For this mathematics worksheet, students circle the shape in each group that is different. there are six different groups to identify on the sheet.

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

In this mathematics instructional activity, students identify various types of shapes shown. Then they circle the group with the most shapes. There are 8 problems to solve on the sheet.

Students recognize different shapes and colors. When the music stops students should move to and stand on a shape. Ask students "who is standing by a square, circle," etc., and ask what color they are standing on.
