In this math worksheet, middle schoolers examine the two and three dimensional shapes. They use the observations in order to define the different points of view.

Help your budding writers become familiar with letter shapes using a pattern learning exercise. They examine three patterns, tracing a dotted line to continue them to the end of the page. For each, they also draw the pattern freehand...

In molecules, bonds rotate about the nucleus due to the repulsion of subatomic particles. In a simulation, learners manipulate the bonds of a molecule to meet the atoms' needs. They can then see the specific molecular shapes of five...

The shape of a molecule is determined by the arrangement of atoms around the central atom and lone pairs of electrons. Scholars build models of molecules using single, double, and triple bonds. They can then see real molecules bond...

Students expand their thinking while investigating shape and design. In this early childhood lesson plan, students transform a geometric shape into another shape or design to develop math and creative-thinking skills.

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students practice recognizing shapes while using gross-motor skills. In this early childhood math movement lesson, students explore shapes as music plays and they walk the perimeter of large cut-out paper shapes by playing musical squares.

Students discover together that shapes are everywhere - even in the food we eat. In this early childhood math and art instructional activity, students read about shapes, identify foods that match geometric shapes, and create a class book.

Young scholars explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Young scholars describe the attributes of their shape and...

Students explore their new classroom with this hunting and matching game. In this early childhood problem solving lesson, students use observation and matching skills as they hunt for pre-cut shapes around the classroom.

In this colors and shapes instructional activity, students look over a box full of different shapes, color the triangles red, squares blue, rectangles yellow, ovals green, circles purple and the diamonds orange.

Students listen to the book Shapes Sally Snake Can Make while they hold their own snake made out of a pipe cleaner. In this shapes lesson, students develop their listening skills while the book is read to them, and then they manipulate...

Students identify two- and three-dimensional figures and associate them with real-world objects.  In this geometry lesson, students are read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and complete several activities including a chart...

Students explore the tools of navigation.  For this shapes lesson, students navigate using direction cues to create a shape.  Students follow specific steps to create their shapes. Students use compasses to see the directions...

In this shapes worksheet, students look at the 5 different shapes inside the balloons, cut out the 5 dotted shapes and then paste each one to their matching shape on each balloon.

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Students tour their school in a scavenger hunt to find primary colors and two and three-dimensional shapes. Students take digital pictures of the colors and shapes they find and create a class book of the pictures.

In this shapes worksheet, students practice tracing 5 diamonds, draw 3 diamonds on their own and then color the 5 diamonds found in a box filled with different types of shapes.

First graders learn the names of geometric shapes and about African cultures. In this geometry and culture instructional activity, 1st graders describe real world objects and learn to name them with geometric terms such as square,...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

Ready to introduce the realities of molecular geometry to chemistry pupils? Use a logic-based interactive! Perfect as individual practice, the puzzles explore the bond angles and repulsions present in three common molecular shapes.

Data starts to tell a story when it takes shape. Learners describe skewed and symmetric data. They then use the graphs to estimate mean and standard deviation. 

Learners practice drawing Lewis dot structures, build molecules with model kits, and predict molecular shapes using VSEPR theory. The combination of written work and hands-on reinforcement benefits young scientists.
