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

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...

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...

Learners 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.

Third graders compare and contrast the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Using a tetrominoes game, they create two-dimensional shapes to cover up a game board. At the conclusion of the game, 3rd graders discuss the patterns they...

Students judge, compare and construct two-dimensional figures using a variety of materials.

Students comprehend how Landsat satellites orbit teh Earth to produce images. They comprehend the elliptical path of satellites. Students recognize that a different orbital path is needed for different satellites to perform their tasks....

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Shape one's understanding of geometry using the resource. The sixth of seven chapters in 6th Grade Math focuses on geometry principles. Future mathematicians learn to find the area of parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and other...

Let's study 2-D shapes! Young mathematicians compare and classify shapes according to attributes. They evaluate shape riddles and predict the shape being described. Here is the website where you can find the lesson...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Learners 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...

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 explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic representations...

Young scholars use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and...

Students sketch cones and identify its properties. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the surface area and volume of each three dimensional shape. they define and sketch prisms, pyramids and cylinders.

Learners study parallel and perpendicular lines. In this parallel and perpendicular lesson, pupils explore 2-D shapes and determine if the sides are parallel or perpendicular.

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Young artists build a three-dimensional form with Twisteez Wire on a stationary screen base. They can paint the base if they wish. The results of this art project are spectacular, but be warned that the materials needed are not easy to...

Learners create wonderfully animate animal masks out of balloons. They use the papier-mache technique to create three dimensional animal masks taking care to consider color, shape, texture, and the animals' features. 

Seventh graders create three dimensional works of art from two dimensional plans, develop skills in papier-mach?? technique, utilize elements and principles of design to create 3-D form, and develop math/strategy skills in playing the...
