Where is the vertex? Each of these three-dimensional figures is drawn so learners can see all sides and corners. They examine an example before trying six on their own. Some of these will be tricky, so be sure kids have covered this...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

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.

Some of the best practice with shape identification comes from drawing the figures first-hand. Young geometers draw nine two-dimensional shapes: rectangle, circle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, triangle with three equal sides,...

In this geometry worksheet, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

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

For this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.

Writing can become one-dimensional if authors don't involve all their senses. First, scholars observe a strange object which, ideally, they can touch and even smell. Without using certain words (you can create a list or have the class...

Students identify and match pictures of three dimensional shapes while playing a board game with peers. They take turns with their partners in spinning the spinner and moving to the next space on the game board that shows the same shape.

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

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

Which ones are square corners? As they learn more about shape attributes, be sure scholars understand the difference between a vertex and a square corner. After examining two examples, learners circle the 90-degree corners in 12...

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape identification activity. In this figure dimensions lesson, students identify the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional shapes by their vertices and faces. Students examine blocks in...

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

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

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

In this parallel lines and transversals learning exercise, 10th graders solve eleven problems that include identifying and defining transversals and parallel lines. First, they state the transversal that forms each pair of angles and...

Students translate story characters into three-dimensional finger puppet figures. They tell tales with wiggles and words and utilize their finger puppets to convey a story in front of their classmates as the curtain goes up and the...

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...

Through a series of activities, learners are exposed to how artists use symbolic imagery to create the narrative of a subject’s life. They study The Birth of Alexander and some manuscripts kept at J. Paul Getty Museum. They then draft...

Examine three Cubism art pieces by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque with your students. They will research how Cubism was advanced due to Picasso and Braque. and then compare and contrast Cubist works through image based discussion. Your...

Students create a three-dimensional book about landscapes. They must show their understanding of shape, color and balance.

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.

In this learning tool worksheet, 3rd graders cut and paste a template to create a cylinder. Students could color or decorate the cylinder.
