Extend scholars' learning experience with a unit consisting of five shape lesson plans, an extension activity, assessment, and rubric. Begin by reading a story about shapes, then conduct an overview and assign pupils' their first...

Get to know eight shapes by name: square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Young geometers write the correct name below each of these shapes, using a word bank for guidance. Then, they draw two of the...

Your kindergartners know their shapes - but can they identify their locations? A 3x3 grid contains geometric shapes such as diamonds, circles, and hexagons, and pupils locate the shapes within the grid. Which shape is underneath the...

Inside each of these two-dimensional shapes, scholars identify the figure by writing its name. There is a word bank for them to work from, but some shape names are used multiple times. There are six identifiers they use: pentagon,...

Some of the best practice with shape identification comes from drawing the figures first-hand. Young geometers draw nine two-dimensional shapes: rectangle, circle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, triangle with three equal sides,...

Combine literacy, problem-solving, and geometric shape recognition with this riddle worksheet. Scholars solve 4 riddes, naming the shape described in each. Descriptions are in first person, and include a real-life look-alike. For...

Explore shape attributes with young geometers as they sort nine shapes based on their corners. Scholars determine whether or not each shape has a square corner, drawing it in the appropriate space accordingly. They are encouraged to use...

Define plane shapes by their properties, then use this game to reinforce those skills. Learners use given properties as clues to determine each shape. They work to name ten different shapes, six of which are polygons.

Using a word bank, mathematicians fill out a crossword puzzle using 9 clues. Each clue describes a shape, using details such as the number of sides, angle degrees, and the shape category. For example: "A quadrilateral with four equal...

Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

What are these shapes? Learners examine pairs of six familiar shapes: circle, oval, triangle, hexagon, square, and rectangle. Each pair is placed together because of a common attribute, which is described above. Learners name the...

Kindergartners demonstrate their ability to identify seven different shapes by labeling each of the 28 examples on the worksheet. Learners must be able to identify rectangles, diamonds, squares, ovals, triangles, circles, and pentagons.

Each of these 10 shapes comes with a question for learners to answer as they analyze its attributes. They examine the following shapes: hexagon, trapezoid, pentagon, circle, diamond, parallelogram, rectangle, triangle,...

Although there isn't anything for kids to complete in this shapes handout, they can use it as a guide for drawing shapes and recognizing their attributes. There are eight shapes described here: circle, oval, triangle, rectangle,...

This colorful set of shapes and figures is the data set learners need to fill out an extensive table. For each of 11 types of shapes or figures they record the quantity and how many corners and sides each has. This becomes more difficult...

What type of shape is this? Learners practice identifying shape attributes as they name a parallelogram and an oval and count the sides of a cube and a triangle. There are multiple-choice answers for the shape-name questions, so...

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

There are multiple objectives in this tracing worksheet. Beginning printers practice with shape attributes and names, letters, spelling, printing, and fine motor skills all at once. For each, they trace the shape and its spelling...

Why are only four colors needed to color webs from regular pentagons, not five? An assessment task requires young mathematicians to first construct regular pentagons using a compass and straightedge, then has them consider a shape...

Combine math and language arts in the same lesson with a reading passage about number prefixes in geometric shapes. After reading several short paragraphs about the different prefixes used in shape names, kids answer five comprehension...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

Learners read The Greedy Triangle and discuss geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students list the geo-solids in the world and create a graphic organizer to show where geo-solids exist.

In this pentagon recognition worksheet, students trace the shape and write the word pentagon on the primary lines provided. Students complete two activities.

In this shapes and their features worksheet, students construct triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and heptagons using four designated shapes. In this problem solving worksheet, students create as many of the types of shapes...
