Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

Learners create books about shapes.  In this shape lesson, students select a topic such as points, lines, angles, planes, polygons, quadrilaterals, triangles, circles, and polyhedra.  In groups, they create an illustrated...

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the...

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

The identification of 2-D shapes is the focus of this geometry worksheet. Students compare figures and match them to their shape name. Students identify eight different shapes.

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

In this rectangles and shapes worksheet, students complete a variety of exercises including counting the number of faces on a solid object, coloring solids to match nets and coloring plane shapes. Students check their answers online as...

Compare and classify 2-D shapes! Kindergarteners inspect the attributes of plane shapes and examine shapes in everyday life. They label the circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles they find. This is the website where you can find the...

Using geoboards, computer programs, and hands-on manipulative materials, elementary schoolers engage in a study of two and three-dimensional geometric shapes. This lesson is chock full of good teaching ideas on the subject, and the...

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...

A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Use the alphabet as a tool for teaching your class about geometric figures. Break apart capital letters into line segments and arcs. Classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse. Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. An excellent...

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

In this geometry worksheet, students will cut out and practice the names of plane and solid shapes. The flashcards are in color.

In this geometry worksheet, students will cut out and practice 12 shape flashcards. The shapes include the basic plane shapes plus star, heart, diamond, cube and cylinder.

When will we ever use this? A Pixar movie maker explains to students how math is used in the creation of animated films. The movie maker discusses the importance of coordinate planes, transformations and translations, and...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes. 

In this area of polygons worksheet, high schoolers solve 7 short answer and multiple choice questions about area.  Students find the area of triangles given base and height, or points in the coordinate plane.

In this analytic geometry worksheet, 9th graders graph and solve 13 different types of problems that include determining whether equations are linear to matching given equations to their corresponding equation in the second column....
