Find the Shapes in a Picture
Use coloring to remind young learners that geometry is all around them! A simple image of a house, sun, and tree becomes the format for several basic shapes. The instructions direct scholars to trace and color each shape using a...

Solid Shapes
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...
Curated OER
Shapes Galore!
First graders create two-dimensional shapes. In this shapes activity, 1st graders learn about different two-dimensional shapes. Students have many hands-on experiences with these shapes including the use of geoboards, shaving cream,...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Teaching Shapes
Young scholars identify two- and three-dimensional figures and associate them with real-world objects. In this geometry lesson, students are read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and complete several activities including a...
Curated OER
Shapes Galore!
First graders explore two-dimensional shapes. Individually, children follow directions to draw shapes. Learners use shaving cream, geoboards, yarn, marshmallows, and toothpicks to create shapes. As a class, 1st graders brainstorm...

What Shape Am I?
First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...
Curated OER
Interactive Geometry
Students discover the plain shapes that make up space shapes. They match and stamp shapes together, and create their own space shapes. Students apply what they know about space shapes to make amuseum of shapes. Finally, they compare...

Symmetrical Snowflakes
First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the lesson,...
Curated OER
Congruent Shapes
In this geometry lesson, students trace the capital letter "T" in different directions to learn how a shape is congruent. Students trace this letter on a sheet of paper, then turn, flip it, and trace it in different
directions, only to...
