In this shape and figure description worksheet, students read a description of a shape, name the shape and draw it, 2 total. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes and the number of  edges and vertices of each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this coloring shape worksheet, students trace the circles and color them yellow. Students trace the triangles and color them orange. Students then trace the circle and triangle at the bottom of the page.

In this shape worksheet, learners draw lines to connect matching shapes in sets. Worksheet includes a reference web site for additional activities.

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....

Students design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

In this shapes instructional activity, students are asked to "colour" all of the triangles they find on the page. There are 10 shapes on the page and 4 are triangles. The second page contains suggestions for teachers on activities with...

Students complete geometrical shapes construction activities. In this geometrical concepts lesson, students cut shapes from a worksheet to create a geometrical study activity. Students analyze their shapes and complete a table. Students...

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...

Learners create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson plan, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional...

Students build geodesic domes using newspaper after watching a video about the architectural concepts used in building domes. They decide which geometric shapes can be used to build the strongest building.

Young scholars follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Fifth graders explore geometry by creating shapes with construction paper. In this shape characteristics lesson, 5th graders identify the different attributes that make up specific shapes and create them using construction paper, rulers,...

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the activity focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of fun.

Students discover the plain shapes that make up space shapes. They match and stamp shapes together, and create their own space shapes. Students apply what they know about space shapes to make amuseum of shapes. Finally, they compare...

Learners research how engineers and scientists generate linear and angular measurements with geometry to survey the Earth and Mars. They assess how geometric shapes affect navigation. A surveyor comes to the classroom and explains how he...

Students research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram instructional activity, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Students construct a set of...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes instructional activity, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher...
