Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side...

Learners investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...

Students explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In groups,...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry lesson, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines, angles, and...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area instructional activity, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons....

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.
