In this finding coordinates on a grid learning exercise, 3rd graders write the name of the shape that corresponds to eight given coordinates.

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to create 3 dimensional...

Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...

Third graders create pictures using ordered pairs after listening to a piece of literature. In this ordered pairs and literature instructional activity, student listen to and discuss The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. They...

In this plotting coordinates worksheet, learners plot sets of coordinates on graphs, then name the shape the plots formed. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

In this coordinate geometry worksheet, 4th graders read the coordinates on the grid and write the name of the shape at that location.

Students use Skittles candies as they explore estimation and percentages. In this math lesson plan, students sort, count, and chart Skittles candies to learn about estimation and study percentages.

For this plotting coordinates worksheet, students plots sets of coordinates on graphs, then identify the shape the connected points have created. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Learners read books, learn about the letter p, and have 'p' snacks all to learn about pilots. Students also pretend to fly and draw what they would see if they were flying up in the air.

In this geometry skills worksheet, learners plot the listed coordinates on the provided graphs to create letters of the alphabet.

First graders draw and describe various types of polygons. they investigate their own environments for examples of polygons. After reading the book, The Greedy Triangle, they discuss everyday objects that are polygons. They create shape...

First graders view congruent shapes on a white board and define what congruent means.  In this congruent shapes lesson, 1st graders recognize which shapes are congruent and which aren't  Students complete a giant worksheet in...

Elementary graders discover the concept of fractional pieces of a whole. They investigate the meanings of fractions in everyday life and why they are used. Pupils divide brownies amongst each other to demonstrate the use of fractions...

Show young readers how to use evidence from the text in an activity about making predictions. After reading five short passages, kids note what they think will happen next based on what they have read, and include the evidence that...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

In this coordinates worksheet, students plot and connect coordinates on graphs to create a letter, 2 graphs total. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Students explain how moon phases occur. They describe and explain at least two common misconceptions that people have about the moon. Students explain what a star is. They explain 3 ways that the night sky has been used throughout history.

In this coordinates worksheet, students plot sets of coordinates, connected them and creating letters. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This lesson includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...

Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.

This task challenges a students knowledge of 2-dimensional geometrical shapes to sort shapes and to design a shape that has a given set of attributes.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart is designed for an early childhood classroom and focuses on circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. Opportunities provided for student participation include drawing plane shapes,...

You will enjoy this shape game. It tells you the name of a shape and all you have to do is click on the correct shape. If you get confused you can have another try.
