Shape Up!

Challenge your class to construct a definition for trapezoids. Looking at four examples and four non-examples, young scholars individually create definitions and use them to classify an unknown shape. Allow for small group and...

A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

Extend scholars' learning experience with a unit consisting of five shape lesson plans, an extension activity, assessment, and rubric. Begin by reading a story about shapes, then conduct an overview and assign pupils' their first...

An outstanding lesson on teaching the basic shapes and polygon names to young geometers is here for you. In it, learners investigate the role of basic polygons in the strength of structures. They use geoboards, rubber bands, streamed...

Through a grand discussion and examination of Julie Speed’s and Kazimir Malevich’s artworks, guide your beginner artists in the exploration of the use of art's key elements; shapes and color! Additionally, fine motor skills and creative...

Looking for a thorough task that relates shapes, area, and fractions? Look no more! Learners partition shapes to relate the equal parts to fractions, all while identifying the area the surface area of the shape.

Let's partition rectangles into equal parts. Assess learners on their ability to divide shapes into equal parts, and their ability to explain their thinking.

Young learners explore and identify solid figures found in the classroom and in magazines. They search for shapes in the classroom, complete a worksheet, cut out and sort magazine pictures, and explore various websites.

Elementary schoolers explore angles, rays, line segments, and more in a fine geometry lesson. The book, Shape Up! Fun with Triangles and Other Polygons, is used extensively. The plan has lots of hands-on activities and terrific teaching...

Explore the use of solid figures in architecture with your early builders. Help learners identify and name solid three-dimensional shapes. They then work in groups to plan and construct an original model home using blocks. This is a...
