Students explore tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, students read Three Pigs, One Wolf, and Seven Magic Shapes and then complete a WebQuest on tangrams. Students explore shapes and rotation during the WebQuest and create a new character...

What a neat test! The class is asked to draw and color to create examples of eight elements of art. They focus on each element (line, value, shape, form, space, texture, primary and secondary color) by creating an original piece in each...

Get in shape with a series of worksheets about making 3-D geometric shapes. Learners use the example at the top of the page to model their shapes, which range from a simple cube or cone to a more complicated octagonal pyramid.

What a fun activity for younger learners! Using this resource, they can discuss the attributes of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and ovals, and also engage in a motivating activity. For those learning about simple shapes, this...

Now you'll never have trouble cutting a cake evenly again. Here is a set of five problems all about partitioning shapes into a given number of pieces and identifying the fractional amount of each piece. As learners progress through the...

Kick-start children's education with this pre-school math unit. Offering 31 different hands-on learning activities that develop young mathematicians' pattern and shape recognition, basic number sense, and much more, this is a...

Students explore the shape of things as they bend, twist, and turn. In this early childhood lesson plan, students develop social, creative-thinking, and language skills and spatial awareness as they use their bodies to create geometric...

In this recognizing squares, circles, and triangles worksheet, students observe a drawing of a building and count and record the number of each geometric shape. Students write 3 answers.

Students explore basic shapes in art. In this sketching lesson, students discover that art is created from basic shapes. Students determine the basic shapes in a picture and recreate the image.

In this math worksheet, students graph ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. They connect the points to create a geometric shape. This worksheet generator allows teachers to select the size of the grid, the complexity of the shapes, and if...

In this recognizing a square, ovals, rectangle, and triangle activity, students observe boxes containing various shapes and follow the directions to identify and color each specific shape. Students color 8 shapes.

In this recognizing characteristics of shapes worksheet, students identify characteristics of quadrilaterals, triangles, and parallelograms and determine which sets fall under the same category. Students solve four problems.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Scholars play against three other participants to show what they know about geometric figures. Starting at the beginning, kangaroos jump from shape to shape to match the figure to the displayed word and make their way to the finish...

Learners discuss Sol LeWitt and conceptual art, then analyze the differences in expressing a concept through model-based inquiry and aesthetic art criticism. They develop a geometric, scientific, or mathematical concept, then create an...

Children who are blind need to constantly be engaged in building conceptual understandings of the world around them. This activity will help them grasp the concept of shape, identify shapes, and consider shapes as they are used to...

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

Youngsters explore visual arts by participating in a geometry identification activity. They read the book The Very Busy Spider and identify the techniques spiders use to create webs. Have you ever noticed that their webs are geometric...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this lesson is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been discovered, pupils try...

Why do some stars in a constellation appear brighter than others? Using a get-up-and-move astronomy activity, scholars explore perspective and the appearance of constellations in the sky while developing an understanding of the...

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

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.

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.
