Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

Learners use manipulatives to study shapes. They sort shapes and use correct geometric terminology to describe them. Students find real-life examples of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, and classify figures in their classroom according to...

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Are you looking for a good 3-D geometry lesson that includes hands-on activities for your middle schoolers? Look no further than this one! Pupils use centimeter grid paper embedded in the plan, along with detailed construction...

Students identify both two and three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, students listen to a teacher led lesson plan about the island of Puerto Rico. They look at the symbols and shapes on "Puerto Rico Quarter...

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...

Young scholars examine their classroom to find examples of various types of shapes. After identifying and describing the various shapes, they draw as many as they can on a piece of paper. They organize them into an image based on their...

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...

Help your students identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

Second graders determine how to name two-dimensional shapes by their properties. In this two-dimensional figure lesson, 2nd graders work in two groups. They work with the teacher to examine two-dimensional shapes and complete a...

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

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

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Students identify and match pictures of three dimensional shapes while playing a board game with peers. They take turns with their partners in spinning the spinner and moving to the next space on the game board that shows the same shape.

Fifth graders draw 2-D and 3-D shapes. They sketch and label geometric figures with correct terminology, then explore parallel and perpendicular lines. Pupils sort and classify shapes drawn.

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

Learners compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids activity, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

In order to better understand how to locate a plane of symmetry in 3-dimensional objects, learners create a dance. The class reviews dance and math symmetry, then they practice making symmetrical shapes and movements with a partner....

Students use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...
