This presentation is intended to accompany an entire unit and covers a wide variety of concepts. Counting on, counting back, symmetry, properties of 2-D shapes, completing symmetrical patterns, and measuring angles are all covered.

Invite your first graders to compose and decompose two and three-dimensional figures with this fun, hands-on lesson. They investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart two-dimensional shapes with rubber bands...

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra activity, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy...

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

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Who needs to buy pattern blocks when you have this printable pattern block template? Including triangles, squares, trapezoids, rhombuses, and hexagons, this resource offers endless possibilities for teaching children about geometric shapes.

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 explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes instructional activity, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

In a two-part learning exercise, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals...

Students make a quilt. In this geometry activity, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their...

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Engage youngsters in exploring the wonderful world of shapes with this series of cut-and-paste activities. Offering a variety of materials from printable pattern blocks to a series of matching exercises, this resource will have your...

Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry instructional activity, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape...

In this shape lesson, learners cut out tangram shapes and create different pictures with them. They look at 3-D shapes as well. There is a nice, hands-on component built into this lesson.

Students create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. For this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Students create their own mandalas...

Second graders study movements. In this dance lesson, 2nd graders draw patterns selecting one to represent through movement with their body.

Young mathematicians classify squares according to attributes. They sort squares according to specific attributes. Learners explore squares in repeating patterns and order squares according to size. Engaging extension activities are...

In this quilt patterns worksheet, 7th graders identify and complete 6 different problems that include various patterns using shapes. First, they fill the square with the polygons listed on the left as stated. Then, students use...

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Young artists learn to build rhythm into a design by repeating colors, shapes, and patterns in a 3-D sculpture activity.

Jump start children's math education with this fun basic skills resource. Offering dozens of different touch-and-swipe activities with colorful graphics, this program is perfect for all young learners.

If you like to start each day with a new math challenge or warm-up, this resource is a must have. It includes 36 slides, each containing a different math challenge that stimulates algebraic reasoning, problem solving, and basic math...
