Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

In this solid figures worksheet, students read the word problems about the solid figures and find the figure that follows the rule.

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson plan, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks...

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson plan, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional...

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

Young scholars explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. For this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Young scholars identify patterns between...

Students explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Students utilize a real life situation...

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Learners investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Sixth graders explore geometry by utilizing colored cubes in class. In this volume lesson, 6th graders identify the different shapes they can create using their colored cubes and identify the formula for finding volume. Students create...

First graders explore geometric shapes. In this math instructional activity, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry instructional activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the...

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Sixth graders calculate the volume of a stair-step. In this volume lesson, 6th graders apply their knowledge of the formula for finding volume. They practice their use of math language since this lesson is presented in a Japanese...

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

Students read the book Flat Stanley. In this environmental stewardship lesson, students participate in earth-friendly activities based upon the book. This lesson includes ideas such as using recycled paper to make a "paper pal."
