January Worksheets: Number Book
In this lower elementary geometry learning exercise, students make a shape book. They receive a book with the outline of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle with the word that names the shape. They cut out images of the four shapes...
Curated OER
Picture Matching-- Squares, Circles
In this math and visual discrimination worksheet, students study a collection of small pictures, each which is part of an identical matching pair. Students draw lines to match the shapes that are the same and color all squares red and...
Curated OER
Shape Buttons
In this math worksheet, learners investigate the simple geometric shapes of circle, rectangle, oval, triangle and square by making a 6 page book. Students color and read the book about buttons of different shapes.

Exploring Length and Perimeter
Sixth graders determine the perimeter of geometric shapes with a grid at technology based resource. While looking at figures on an overhead, they determine how much border they would need to go around a figure. They also complete...

Discovering Art - Scott Gallery: Shape
Students study geometric, naturalistic, and abstract shapes in art. They review the names of shapes and name them in the portrait, Breakfast in Bed by Mary Cassatt. They simulate a baby as in the portrait and discuss the shapes. They...
Curated OER
Geometry Shapes
Learners create various geometric shapes with their younger grade "buddy partners." They identify and discuss various geometric shapes, and using gumdrops or marshmallows and toothpicks, construct different flat and three-dimensional...
Curated OER
Parks Design Project
Students explore two dimensional geometric figures. They explore the relationships and measurements of geometric figures. Students apply proportion and scaling. They design a city park for students and teenagers.
Curated OER
Area and Perimeter of Geometric Shapes
Fifth graders determine how to calculate the perimeter and area of given geometric shapes. They use specific shapes to create a picture using a software program. They determine the area and perimeter of the shapes used in the picture.
Curated OER
Cover the Triangle
Pupils explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.
Curated OER
Seeing Shapes
Students study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.
Curated OER
Roger Brown
Students examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 4, Lesson 15: Geo Jingo Jivin'
Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 6: Quilt Story
Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.
Curated OER
Design Your Own Quilt Pattern
Students apply what they have learned, from Eight Hands Round a Patchwork Alphabet, about how quilt blocks got their names by constructing and naming a quilt block pattern of their own using pattern blocks and pattern block paper.
Curated OER
Geometry House!
Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Grasping Geometry
Learners investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.
Curated OER
Create a Wrapping Cloth Design
Students create wrapping clothes using paper or cloth scraps being sure to find or make geometric shapes. They create a visually balanced composition including symmetry,and repeated patterns.
Curated OER
Sculpture Shapes
Students reconstruct an ancient Greek sculpture using various geometric forms and explore different geometric forms. They create an abstract human form out of geometric shapes and create other representations out of the same shapes.
