Shifty Shapes
Shape shifters examine and experiment with pattern shapes. In this geometry lesson, they work in groups to name and describe pattern block shapes, and they discover the combinations of shapes that can be placed inside a hexagon.
Curated OER
Six Squares
Students create different shapes on grid paper. In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper. They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...
Curated OER
Geometry
Students build replicas about nature and sports. In this geometry lesson plan, students build 3D replicas of nature and sports objects in teams.

Creating Polygons
Students describe, make and compare polygons. For this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...
Curated OER
3-D Beginning Graphs
Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

Partitioning Circles and Rectangles - Matching Worksheet
This geometry idea is simple enough, but you'll need to note the typos in the directions. Learners match quarters and halves on the right to their whole shapes on the left. The shapes on the left are divided to make this concept easier...
