Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

First graders practice identifying simple geometric shapes. As a class, they discuss positional words and review the words for simple shapes and their characteristics. They work together to create their own puzzle using the shapes.

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...

Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson plan, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry instructional activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on...

Students identify, sort, and classify. In this kindergarten math lesson, students explore visual examples of sorting with 1 or more attributes. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students use different color items to sort by color and different attributes of the manipulatives given to them. In this sorting lesson plan, students also write a journal entry or draw a picture of their activity.

Fifth graders identify and classify scalene, equilateral, and isosceles triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, 5th graders define the different attributes of 3 types of triangles and sort them by descriptions and...

Students identify and match pictures of three dimensional shapes while playing a board game with peers. They take turns with their partners in spinning the spinner and moving to the next space on the game board that shows the same shape.

In this sorting shapes worksheet, students categorize 10 shapes as squares or shapes in a venn diagram organizer by writing the shapes corresponding number in the correct position on the graphic organizer.

Students sketch cones and identify its properties. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area and volume of each three dimensional shape. they define and sketch prisms, pyramids and cylinders.

First graders sort toys by various attributes. They, in groups, sort toy vehicles by color, size etc. and then explain how they chose to group the toys. They write, draw or dictate an explanation of their sorting methods.

Learners observe leaves. In this math and science cross-curriculum leaf lesson, students take a nature walk and collect leaves. Attributes are assigned and leaves are sorted in various ways. Learners use non-standard or standard units of...

Learners explore cultural attributes. In this cultural diversity instructional activity, students define culture and discuss the diversity of culture that exists in the world. Learners determine whether or not there is an American culture.

Middle schoolers are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each...

Third graders use the computer to draw and compare the attributes of two and three dimensional shapes.

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Students explore geometric shapes. In this math lesson, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

In this newt worksheet, students complete 5 fill in the blank questions regarding animal characteristics of a newt. Students complete answers inside a fishbowl shape worksheet.

In this interactive lesson, students review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create tessellations. They...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...
