I love graphic organizers. My students will increase their vocabularies by learning more 2D shape terms through the use of a graphic organizer.

This article describes a new approach to teaching children more than just memorizing a formula to find area and hope they don't confuse it with perimeter. This approach involves a project with real life situations....

Explore pentominoes by determining congruent and non-congruent shapes.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the attributes of two-dimensional shapes.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transformations move and modify geometric shapes. There are several types of transformations that all transform figures in different ways. These transformations can...

Use this site to practice identifying shapes, colors, and animals with these interactive games.

This lesson plan has students identify shapes by coloring the given shape a specific color.

Students will tell if a shape is 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Measurement, perimeter, and area skills are exhibited while students participate in these hands-on lessons. Each lesson plan includes objectives, methods, strategies, a description, and assessment techniques.

A collection of circular objects will be used to explore circumference and diameter of circles.

Assess learning of polygons and perimeters with this interactive multiple choice practice and quiz activity. Click the question mark for hints.

This lesson plan has students solve problems using scale drawings on a map.

This inquiry lesson explores the definitions of quadrilaterals and the properties of the diagonals of quadrilaterals to classify quadrilaterals. Students will work cooperatively to justify conclusions. This lesson plan was created by...

This lesson plan allows young scholars to discover the number Pi. By measuring real life objects, students will get to see where the number Pi comes from as well as how the circumference formula is derived.This lesson plan was created as...

The purpose of this lesson is to help students apply math concepts concerning similar triangles and trigonometric functions to real life situations. The students learn how to take these concepts and use them to find measurements of...

Second graders will be able to identify 2-dimensional shapes and tell the number of vertices and sides.

Explore some problems you can solve with your knowledge of triangles and trigonometry.

This is an inquiry lesson used to review Algebra 1 objectives by applying them to geometry concepts. Students explore the properties of quadrilaterals and classify them by definition. This lesson can be use in geometry classes. Students...

Given two figures on the coordinate plane, draw the line of reflection that takes one figure to another.
