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...

Students create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use it...

In this expression worksheet, learners evaluate equations, write equations for a specified event, and determine the perimeter of shapes, Six multi-step problems are provided on this one-page worksheet.

This is a fun reinforcement activity that will provide the class with practice at recognizing shapes based on their properties. They are given a series of clues which they use to draw a shape on their white boards. This is repeated three...

Match the shapes! There are multiple potential objectives here as young scholars match shapes using different colored lines. There are four starter shapes and learners draw lines connecting them to matching shapes from a larger group....

Painting an irregular figure can be tricky if we don't know the exact area. This interactive presentation reveals that irregular figures can be broken into smaller, simple figures that use the area formulas. Go through two examples,...

Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Approach geometry concepts with youngsters using visual guides like this one to find area. They draw a rectangle, segmenting it into rows and columns. Scholars determine how many square units they see in the partitioned rectangle. They...

After introducing the concept and formula for finding the area of a square, try this lesson. Fifth graders will use their prior knowledge to break apart various shapes in order to determine area. This lesson includes several examples,...

Students review the names of the shapes by holding up each one and place the shapes on the work mat so that all children can see them. They then review attributes by posing different questions.

Your statisticians draw several samplings from the same data set, some randomized and some not, and consider the distribution of the sample means of the two different types of samplings. The exercise demonstrates that non-random samples...

First graders will be creating and filling in a graphic organizer using Kidspiration, as a pre-writing activity for their short story piece. They then use their graphic organizers to write their entire short story. Once written, the...

Participants who use this resource will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to show whether or not the shaded triangle inscribed in a rectangle is a right triangle. Once all of the sides on the shaded triangle are found, it is important that...

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Students investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The lesson is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape of the plane...

In this syllables worksheet, students circle the words with 2 syllables in them. Student have 20 words to read and to choose from.

Children solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various items measured (wooden blocks and boxes). This is a particularly good instructional activity to use when introducing how to use a ruler and how to add...

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Let's study 2-D shapes! Young mathematicians compare and classify shapes according to attributes. They evaluate shape riddles and predict the shape being described. Here is the website where you can find the lesson...

In this multiplying binomials worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 23 different types of problems. First, they use the Distributive Property to find each product. Then, students use the FOIL method to find each product. They also...

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students read and follow directions to create fractional parts of shapes and then write the fraction they have made.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students examine and label a square, a rectangle, a circle, and a triangle. Students also respond to 4 questions that require them to draw the shapes.

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...
