What shape is this? Youngsters begin by examining a square (have them identify it) and tracing two more before drawing a couple on their own in the provided space. Next, they look at three familiar images to count all the squares they...

In this Geometry worksheet, 1st graders are challenged to color and identify different shapes using the theme of outer space and a rocket ship.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which object in an illustration has a flat side the same shape as the box shown. Then they look at other shapes and identify the ones with a flat side, if any.

Students review and differentiate between positive and negative space, view teacher sample, and cut out shapes to create puzzle-like picture in which one color of paper represents positive space and one color represents negative space.

Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.

Students experience dance and movement. In this kinesthetic lesson, students practice movement of their limbs and joints. They use a hula hoop to identify personal space.

Students practice locomotor and axial movements. In this body awareness lesson, students discover freeze movement, axial movements, and locomotor movements. Students practice the movements as they maintain personal space.

Pupils investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Students investigate how flowing water influence landforms. In this earth science lesson, students observe water behavior as it flows from the stream table at various inclinations. They discuss whether water shaped Mars landforms or not.

Students use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance music can...

Learners create collages based on Juan Quick-to-See Smith's "Ode to Chief Seattle." In this shapes, symbols and Native American lesson, students examine the "Ode to Chief Seattle" and Henri Matisse's cutout work. Learners design their...

Students study about the Columbia crew and their mission, how space shuttles work, and explore the history of the shuttle program. By accessing many websites imbedded in this plan, students gain a deep understanding of the Space Shuttle...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

In this shapes word search, students circle names of shapes. Students find five words: triangle, circle, diamond, square, and oval.

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square. 

Learners observe a teacher demonstration o classifying matter by its physical properties of shape and size. After discussing the definition of matter, students describe the state of matter. They sing a song to the tune of "Bingo." In...

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Scribble art allows learners of any age to problem solve in order to express their creative thinking skills. They create a simple scribble, then elaborate on it by adding color and shape. Full instructions and extensions are included. 

How tall can your tower get? Implement shapes, building strategies, teamwork, and prediction in this interactive tower activity. Learners discuss past experiences with stacking materials, recalling ways they kept it from falling over....

Geoboards can take up a lot of space in the classroom; instead use this 5x5 geoboard paper! Six geoboards and lines for writing are included in this multi-use printable and template. 

Young scholars discover the plain shapes that make up space shapes. They match and stamp shapes together, and create their own space shapes. Students apply what they know about space shapes to make amuseum of shapes. Finally, they...

Students examine the elements of design: line, shape, color, space, texture, light. They refer to these elements of design when they view works of art and create their own artwork. They visit the National Gallery Museum.

A cross-curricular approach to prepositions includes a geometry aspect as learners label eight pictures of shapes to indicate their positioning. Each picture has two shapes, some with arrows to show which shape's location scholars are...

Apple, banana, apple, banana...what's next? Youngsters practice recognizing patterns using these object sequences. For the first four patterns, they examine the start of a set, find the pattern, and complete the subsequent drawings in...
