Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.

Students participate in a hands-on activity working with attribute blocks. After reading a story about attributes as a class, they each are given two attribute blocks. The first student lays one attribute block on the floor with the next...

First graders explore the math concept of geometric shapes. In this plane shapes and solid shapes lesson, 1st graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

First graders explore 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 1st graders examine the attributes of 2 -dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. They also create the shapes as they build models. This lesson plan...

First graders investigate the differences between shapes.  In this block characteristics lesson, 1st graders work in groups to explore blocks, group the blocks by different characteristics, discuss the block attributes and record...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Students identify attributes in real-life objects and models of solids and connect these attributes to characteristics of shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, and other rectangles. They discuss the ability of the object to roll,...

Students explore models of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students use hands-on manipulatives to explore three-dimensional shapes. Students predict whether each shape will roll or slide.

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. For this math lesson, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

Students sort birds by their physical characteristics. In this bird characteristics lesson, students review bird characteristics and create beaks. Students discuss birds as pets.

Students compare, sort, and describe shapes. Using a button collection, students identify the shape, color number of holes, etc. Students play a description game with the buttons. They create a chart and name items that are the same...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

For this math worksheet, students cut out 15 attribute block shapes. The shapes are described as red or blue and include squares, circles, triangles, and hexagons.

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-instructional activity series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares,...

Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

Test scholars mathematic skills with an assessment addressing addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value, measurement, geometric shapes, expanded notation; and their ability to compare numbers, write number...

n this geometric lesson, students define and identify two dimensional shapes based on their attributes. They complete worksheets based on the geometric concepts.
