Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson that stretches student thinking.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes, and discuss map skills and attributes. They plan and create their own school campus maps using pre-cut building site shapes.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Fourth graders discuss the various attributes of quadrilaterals. In groups, they use the attributes to sort quadrilaterals into different classes and a hierarchy. They review the new vocabulary and attributes with a partner to end the...

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

Learners sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

First graders graph a data set. Given a set of buttons, 1st graders sort them into categories using specific attributes. They graph the number of buttons in their set based on their attributes using a variety of graphs. Students share...

Students sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the instructional activity, they use the shapes they...

Students explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between acute, obtuse, right, alternate interior, exterior and adjacent angles. They manipulate a math...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson plan, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Students explore pyramids. In this math lesson, students discuss where they have seen examples of pyramids. Students classify pyramids as three-dimensional figures and identify their attributes.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Second graders, while in the computer lab discuss Fraction Action by Loreen Leedy, practice solving problems involving fractions. They explore non-unit fractions by describing parts of a set utilizing their attributes to categorize the...

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.
