Students review shapes and numbers orally using a set of flash cards. They trace each shape following the arrows and then write the name and orally identify the shape and its name.

In this tangram instructional activity, students trace solutions to seven problems/sets of instructions on a separate sheet of paper. Reference website is given for additional activities.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Students demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions lesson, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

Students identify shapes to create sand crabs, and make colored sand for texture.

Angles and triangles: they're all connected. Uncover the connections between angles in triangles. Scholars learn how to find both exterior and interior angle measures in triangles. The lesson emphasizes the vocabulary related to these...

Explore the concept of shapes by using tools in Kid Pix Deluxe 4 computer program. This techno-shapes lesson has pupils watching a video about shapes, and using the Kid Deluxe 4 computer program to draw shapes. They get to...

Young artists don't have to wait for Halloween to craft eensy-weensy spiders. A one-page template includes directions and a pattern for the spider's body and legs. These little arachnids, hanging from the ceiling or  the wall...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Discover the results of reflecting an image. Learners use transparency paper to manipulate an image using a reflection in this fourth lesson of 18. They finish by reflecting various images across both vertical and horizontal lines.

Students use construction paper to make a set of folding cards that initially hide a zero and then open to reveal a new number. They put their cards into sequential order and recognize numbers as they count by ten.

Learners explore the celebration of Christmas as part of an investigation into the multicultural experiences of celebrating holidays. The story written by Richard Paul Evans, "The Light of Christmas" provides the basis for the exploration.

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

Students explore geometric shapes and patterns. They view the provided paper display of a quilt to identify geometric figures it contains. Afterwards, they draw and color their own quilt on a activity sheet.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

Students practice counting sets of items by 10's.  In this counting lesson, students create flash cards that show a zero while hiding the first number in order for students to practice counting by 10's.  Students practice...

Learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

Learners examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution instructional activity, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

Students demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of triangles and...

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes instructional activity, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in...

Students identify shapes. In this geometry lesson, students cut out various shapes and create a "Shape Collage Pizza." Students glue their shapes onto a pizza template.

  Learners observe a leaf and discuss the way that water is released from a leaf through its stomata.  For this water cycle lesson, students calculate how much water leaves produce from a whole tree.     

In this perimeter and area lesson, students learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Students define perimeter and area and explain why...
