Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...

Pupils work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry activity, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes...

In this geometry activity, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.

In this 3D shape learning exercise, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...
