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.

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...

Young scholars describe shapes to other students who have to guess that shape. In this shape lesson plan, young scholars describe shape attributes to other students. Then those other young scholars have to guess the shape that is being...

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...

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

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...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson plan, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have in...

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional shapes...

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...

Tenth graders explore volume and surface area through percentages. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders analyze the surface area of two and three dimensional shapes, then use percents and ratio to compare the two.

Students identify and categorize different polygons. In this polygons lesson plan, students research and identify properties of polygons,  identify different polygon shapes, and categorize different triangles and quadrilaterals.

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make a...

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.
