Tricky Traps
Students create identify properties of trapezoids. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of given trapezoids and review the area formula for parallelograms. They draw a correlation between the area of a trapezoid and that...
Curated OER
Ship Shape
Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.
Curated OER
Quadrilateral Bunny
Young scholars identify the properties representing quadrilateral. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between special and regular quadrilaterals. They discuss and demonstrate hierarchy of quadrilaterals.
Curated OER
Find the Shape
Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals
(square,...
