The Lady With The Alligator Purse
In this "The Lady With the Alligator Purse" worksheet, students complete multiple worksheets to trace the words in the short story, use alligator purse squares to add one-digit problems and doctor rectangles to subtract, draw hands on...
Curated OER
Squares to Compare
Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)
Curated OER
Christmas Shapes
In this recognizing shapes worksheet, pupils trace a rectangle, circle, triangle, square, heart, and moon. Students trace 6 shapes.
Curated OER
Prime and Composite Numbers
Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...
Curated OER
ESOL Listen, Speak, Read and Write
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.
Curated OER
What a Square
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.
Curated OER
Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
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.

Rotation
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.
Curated OER
Quilts
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.
