Cut It Out!
Students calculate the surface area of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students use spacial reasoning to find the answer to their problem. They analyze solids and create formulas to estimate the measurements of the area.
Curated OER
Build Solids
In this solid figures learning exercise, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

I Spy Shapes
Students play a game in which they name geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson, students ask "yes and no" questions to determine which shape one of their classmates has chosen. They ask questions that lead them to the name of...
Curated OER
Solid Shapes
In this solid shapes worksheet, students count and name shapes, write the names of missing shapes, write about the difference between a rectangular prism and cube and build designs.
Curated OER
Quadrilaterals
In this geometry instructional activity, students determine if a figure is a quadrilateral. If so, students continue to answer questions to determine whether it is a square, diamond, rhombus, rectangle, parallelogram or trapezoid.
