Learn about 2D shapes and temperature with King Toot.

In this lesson, students will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.

This activity explores shapes and circles by encouraging children to look really hard at something they will see very often in the run-up to London 2012, and is designed to be accessible to primary pupils at Key Stage 1.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart explains 2-D and 3-D shapes.

Students read the clues to determine the shape the clues are describing. If they choose the correct shape a smiley face appears.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometrical attributes to identify and describe shapes.

Kyan is an African villager. Can you help him name and define different parts of shapes?

Abeni works at the pyramids. Visit her and find out more about circles and triangles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video defines a composite shape and shows how to determine the total number of triangles in the given shape. The video is followed by practice problems to assess...

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

Students will explore symmetry through a variety of learning games.

You will enjoy this shape game. It tells you the name of a shape and all you have to do is click on the correct shape. If you get confused you can have another try.

In this lesson, students will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the concept of two dimensional shapes and their properties.
