Recognizing Three Dimensional Shapes
In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.
Curated OER
Identify Shapes and Matching Parts
Students identify real world objects as shapes they have learned. In this 3-D shapes worksheet, students identify shapes such as a cube for a box, a sphere for a globe, and a cylinder for a soup can.
Curated OER
Math-Literature Connection: Counting with Jack the Builder
Connect literature (Jack the Builder) with mathematical concepts. In a series of computation, geometry and number sense activities, pupils count on to add, count back to subtract, build cylinders, cones, and rectangular prisms, and name...
Curated OER
Terrific Tangrams
Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.
Curated OER
Using R&R to Teach Mathematics
Second graders create a shape garden. In this polygons lesson, 2nd graders practice making shapes using a geoboard and read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns. Students also design a shape garden using construction...
Curated OER
Obtuse Angles
Third graders recognize and identify geometric shapes, work with manipulatives to reinforce understanding, and create polygons with various angles to display their knowledge of the different types of angles.
Curated OER
Johnny Appleseed Origami
Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...
Curated OER
Area of 2D Shapes
In this area learning exercise, students commence solving for area of squares and rectangles, and continue to parallelograms and triangles, and continue again to rhombi and trapezoids and finish with circles, polygons, and...
Curated OER
Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Shapes
First graders explore 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 1st graders examine the attributes of 2 -dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. They also create the shapes as they build models. This...
Curated OER
Circles, Rectangles, Squares, Triangles
Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. For this shapes lesson, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher examples of shapes...
