Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students explore their new classroom with this hunting and matching game. In this early childhood problem solving instructional activity, students use observation and matching skills as they hunt for pre-cut shapes around the classroom.

In this transformations activity, high schoolers solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  High schoolers determine scale factors and lines of symmetry...

In this visual math puzzle instructional activity, students work in groups to find the answer to 6 math puzzles. They work with geometric shapes and symbols.

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

Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.

Students demonstrate beginning reading strategies. In this Chicka Chicka Boom Boom lesson plan, students identify upper case letters of the alphabet while relating them to a selection of literature.

In this addition worksheet, students answer 3 fill in the blank word problems where they draw a picture and then use the drawing to help them create an addition equation for each problem.

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

In this letter recognition worksheet, students read and follow 6 specific directions on how to color the picture. Students analyze both upper and lower case forms of letter A, as well as finding the correct geometric shape. Example: "...

Students discover together that shapes are everywhere - even in the food we eat. In this early childhood math and art lesson, students read about shapes, identify foods that match geometric shapes, and create a class book.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the probability of an event occurring based on the geometric sketch.  The one page worksheet contains fourteen problems.  Answers are included. 

First graders distinguish cityscapes from seascapes and landscapes and explore the features of a community. Then, they create a pop-up paper city showing foreground, middle ground, and background.

In this number puzzles learning exercise, 3rd graders fill in and solve 3 shaped puzzles by following the directions on each one precisely. Students deal with numbers from 1 to 13.

In this math applications worksheet, students solve 8 varied problems including consumer math, fractions, ordered pairs, measurement and mental math.

Students study geometric, naturalistic, and abstract shapes in art. They review the names of shapes and name them in the portrait, Breakfast in Bed by Mary Cassatt. They simulate a baby as in the portrait and discuss the shapes. They...

First graders analyze objects and make a graphing picture to analyze the data. For this graphing lesson, 1st graders complete an object graph assessment, a picture graph assessment, and a bar graph assessment to analyze their given objects.

In this positions of objects activity, students practice recognizing left and right by circling the shapes according to the directions for 6 exercises.

First graders participate in games, graphing, and probability exercises to sort and graph buttons. They sort buttons with Venn diagrams and Bull's Eye graphs.

Fifth graders examine the importance of electricity to their everyday lives, practice plotting and interpreting data on a bar graph, and reflect in their journals about how their lives would change without electricity.

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Third graders differentiate between vertebrates and invertebrates, and identify the main characteristics of mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. They sort and categorize different types of balls, discuss the characteristics...
