2D Shapes for sorting into groups

Young mathematicians are on their feet and moving around in this primary grade sorting activity. After giving each child an object or picture card, they then sort themselves into groups, counting to see which has the most or least...

Learners will recognize these colored two-dimensional shapes and their names. The circle and all shapes with three to six sides are presented in this two-page reference sheet. With only four shapes looming large on each page, this can...

Challenge mathematicians to examine and sort a variety of 2-D and 3-D figures with a 10-problem solid shapes worksheet.

Fraction models are a great way to help scholars visualize this concept, and they focus on thirds with these practice problems. First, there are five shapes each segmented into three even sections. Learners color in one-third of each,...

Add some visual support to your elementary geometry lessons with this set of printable shape cards. From triangles and squares to octagons and nanogons, this simple resource can be used in countless ways to develop children's knowledge...

Some shapes have square corners, and some do not. Scholars participate in a sorting activity as they determine if these 12 shapes have square corners, categorizing them based on this attribute. Encourage geometers to draw the square into...

The hunt is on! Send young mathematicians on a search for shapes in the first lesson plan of this two-part series. Each time a child finds a hidden shape, he draws it on his paper, and continues searching for the rest. Perform this...

Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this hands-on sorting activity. Given a bag of objects, students work independently sorting the items based on their physical attributes, counting to determine the size of each group....

Can multiple computers sort a list faster than one? Using a network drawn with chalk outside, groups move through the decision network to sort numbers. A series of extension questions come with the lesson and can be used in the same...

Second graders determine how to name two-dimensional shapes by their properties. In this two-dimensional figure lesson, 2nd graders work in two groups. They work with the teacher to examine two-dimensional shapes and complete a...
