Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

First graders listen as the book, "Try It With Triangles" is read to the class. They name the geometric shapes that they see in the story and view the Shape Vocabulary Cards as they name them from the book. They then cut out the...

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Written to examine seeds that grow in Kansas, you can adapt this lesson to anywhere you live. Learners sort a mixture of five different seeds to by any characteristic of their choice. When your budding scientists are exploring the life...

Students sort objects by shape, size and color. In this math and literacy sorting lesson, students listen to the book Freddy the Fish and the Squash that Goes Squish by Duke Christoffersen. Students work in small groups to sort vegetable...

In this sorting shapes worksheet, students cut and paste rectangles, ovals, triangles, and squares to match a pattern. Students cut and paste four shapes to create one pattern.

In this graphing data instructional activity, students examine the 11 shapes pictured and use that information to finish an incomplete bar graph.

Learners use manipulatives to study shapes. They sort shapes and use correct geometric terminology to describe them. Learners find real-life examples of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, and classify figures in their classroom according to...

Reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence with a Valentine's Day-themed counting and color sorting activity. Scholars sort foam hearts by color—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—then count and place them on a number...

Excellent lesson! Anne Linehane's geometry story, The Greedy Triangle, offers an opportunity to practice forming various types of polygons with your learners. Using elastic bands (or Chinese jump ropes),...

Students identify and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects and compare and contrast their attributes. They identify shapes, locate shapes on the faces of solids, sort real objects and explain the sorting rule, and...

In this shapes worksheet, students match the shapes on the page to the correct descriptions. They then solve the 2 shape riddles at the bottom of the worksheet.

Students use Venn diagrams to represent classifications of shapes and to use counting arguments to find the number of objects in a given set.

Quadrilaterals can be quirky! Fourth graders use geoboards and bands to create four-sided figures. They analyze the attributes such as angle size and presence of parallel sides. As a result they learn to differentiate among...

Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

Nearly all students have seen pregnant women and may have questions about human development. Intended for secondary students with mild to moderate mental disabilities, this lesson defines the process of pregnancy  in a...

In this recording data and shape sorting worksheet, students color a chart to show how many green cubes and yellow cylinders are shown. They color the correct number of each shape.

Young scholars explore the concept of copying one another. In this early childhood lesson plan, students discuss what a copycat is and why people copy one another. Young scholars then discuss the story Rainbow Fish: The Copycat Fish,...

Students play with math. In this early childhood lesson plan, students create drawings of family members to use for math activities including counting, seriating, sorting, grouping, and sequencing.

First graders examine how to sort concrete objects by their attributes. In this sorting lesson, 1st graders listen to Gray Rabbit's Odd One Out by Alan Baker, and discuss the actions of the main character. They practice sorting objects...

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...

In this sorting and graphing activity, students sort 15 objects and then fill in bar graphs to tell how many of each shape there are. The shapes are: heart, star and triangle.
