Two-Dimensional Objects

Now that your learners recognize two-dimensional shapes, can they find what each half of those shapes would look like? There are seven shapes on this instructional activity, bisected by a dotted line. Scholars examine these shapes and...

Some of the best practice with shape identification comes from drawing the figures first-hand. Young geometers draw nine two-dimensional shapes: rectangle, circle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, triangle with three equal sides,...

Get to know eight shapes by name: square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Young geometers write the correct name below each of these shapes, using a word bank for guidance. Then, they draw two of the shapes (hexagon...

Use this introductory geometry activity as a projected warm-up for your class, doing it together and then revealing the explanation on the bottom half. Learners examine a square and a circle, each bisected by a dotted line. They must...

Three dimensional objects are not flat! Young learners explore 3-D shapes and their many faces. Have them find some of the 3-D objects in their environment, such as: spheres, rectangular prisms, cones, cubes, cylinders, and pyramids....

Explore shape attributes with young geometers as they sort nine shapes based on their corners. Scholars determine whether or not each shape has a square corner, drawing it in the appropriate space accordingly. They are encouraged to use...

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...

Which shapes fit? Learners practice visual discrimination using a geometry worksheet, which has them examine shapes that have been divided in half. They observe a set of shapes to determine which of them would fit into each half of the...

Find the shapes that fit. Pupils explore visual discrimination in a set of geometry worksheets, which has them examine shapes that have been divided in half. They observe a set of shapes to determine which of them would fit into each...

Create three dimensional objects in an applied science lesson. The goal is for your class to recognize, compare, and model shapes. Using cookie cutters and clay or play dough, they create models for three-dimensional shapes.
