Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.

The objectives in the resource allow students to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart. Lastly,...

Bugs can be creepy - and fun! Kids create a positive and negative design by repeatedly drawing a simple insect overlaid with a geometric shape. The outcome is really neat and will help build spacial reasoning, visual acuteness,...

Combine geometry and fractions with an innovative worksheet. After your lesson on 1/3, have second graders shape 1/3 of each geometric shape. Shapes include squares, circles, rectangles, and polygons. In the second section, pupils write...

In this corners and sides worksheet, students, with a partner, explore and calculate the answers to six word problems that involve a variety of different geometric shapes.

In this adding learning exercise, students draw three more of the geometric shapes shown in each row and write the total numbers. Students solve three problems.

Students identify the parts and functions of a house by creating a house made of geometric shapes. They listen to the book "Houses and Homes," and use cues from the story to help them build their homes.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students make a quilt. In this geometry lesson plan, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their...

Students identify both two and three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes activity, students listen to a teacher led activity about the island of Puerto Rico. They look at the symbols and shapes on "Puerto Rico Quarter Reverse"...

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

In this geometry worksheet, students see a train design with the engineer. All are made with circles, triangles, rectangles or squares. Students read the directions about which color each shape should be.

In this logical thinking with geometric shapes worksheet, students write directions for transforming one shape into the next on a web. They write phrases such as "make two sides parallel" or "make all the sides the same length" while...

Students analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They find shapes in their environment, and communicate why it is like the shape of their choice and not like another shape.

Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together...

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this geometry and language development lesson, students take a walk and look for shapes in the objects outdoors.  Students match each of four individual  paper shapes they are...

In this Shape Rocket worksheet, students move across a game board according to the spinner. The spinner includes eight different geometric shapes.

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...
