2-Dimensional Shapes: Naming Shapes
Get to know eight shapes by name: square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Young geometers write the correct name below each of these shapes, using a word bank for guidance. Then, they draw two of the shapes (hexagon...

Sorting 2-Dimensional Shapes
Explore shape attributes with young geometers as they sort nine shapes based on their corners. Scholars determine whether or not each shape has a square corner, drawing it in the appropriate space accordingly. They are encouraged to use...

Square Corners
Which ones are square corners? As they learn more about shape attributes, be sure scholars understand the difference between a vertex and a square corner. After examining two examples, learners circle the 90-degree corners in 12...

2D Shapes
This engaging presentation would be helpful for your young learners of geometry. Pupils are given clues as to what a shape may be, then they have to use those clues to guess what shape is being described. Shapes used are the circle,...

Create, Classify, and Sort Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals can be quirky! Fourth graders use geoboards and bands to create four-sided figures. They analyze the attributes such as angle size and presence of parallel sides. As a result they learn to differentiate among rectangles,...

Can You Name That Shape?
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...

Square Corners
What type of corners does this shape have? Young geometers examine 12 shapes, circling the square corners in each if they have any. There are two examples demonstrating this concept, but be sure scholars understand the difference between...

Shaping Your World
Students describe geometric figures. They create pictures and list each shape they used to create their pictures. They discuss the importance of shapes in their lives and create ten different geometric shapes using the Drawing tools in...

May the Force Be With You
Third graders participate in a variety of hands-on activities that involve the effects of force on an object: What a Load, Over the Edge, Collision Zone, and Straw Rocket. They practice describing and comparing attributes of...

Making Two-Dimensional Shapes
Use this introductory geometry worksheet as a projected warm-up for your class, doing it together and then revealing the explanation on the bottom half. Learners examine a square and a circle, each bisected by a dotted line. They must...

Classifying Triangles Based On Properties of Angles
The interactive lesson featured here calls for the use of a Smartboard for sorting and classifying shapes. Then, pupils discuss the rules they followed for sorting their shapes, particularly focusing on the properties of angles. While...

Cubes Everywhere
Students use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and take...
