Students sort through pictures of food to create patterns as they pertain to geometry. In this geometric patterns lesson, students relate to food as concrete objects that represent geometric patterns. Students recognize and...

Youngsters develop mathematical vocabulary with this worksheet. First, give youngsters time to identify their vocabulary words in the picture provided. Then, as a group, practice saying the vocabulary words aloud. Finally, have learners...

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

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...

Young scholars visit various websites to calculate the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. They explore math problems and play interactive games dealing with geometry.

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. For this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Young scholars scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go...

Learners identify nonstandard units of measurement and investigate area of objects. For this geometry lesson, students trace their hands and glue cereal pieces to the print to find the area.

Students investigate shapes and sizes by creating a riddle.  In this geometry lesson, students read one of two books and investigate facts about an object's size.  Students write a riddle using the facts they have read and cut...

Students identify symmetry in shapes. For this geometry lesson, students fold paper to identify lines of symmetry. Students create various symmetrical shapes using folded paper.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. For this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Students 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 chart...

Students explore "area."  In this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together...

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students examine geometric shapes. For this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom....

Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography activity, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout...

Students describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.

Second graders find missing addends by solving math word problems. In this missing addend lesson, 2nd graders work in a whole group setting to find the missing addends in word problems before using the strategies to work independently....

Students create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...
