In this geometry lesson, learners read The Greedy Triangle and use geoboards to construct geometric shapes. They identify the number of sides and angles each shape has.

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Students examine the artwork of Pablo Picasso and describe geometric shapes they observe. After observing geometric pictures and other objects, students create replicas of them using geometric shapes. Using a watercolor wash, students...

Young learners view different shapes drawn by the teacher on the board. The teacher identifies each shape by name and discusses the importance of knowing the difference between shapes when building something. The pupils complete the...

Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.

Students recognize basic geometric shapes. They research the positions of planets in our solar system and find information on early theories about the location of planets and the sun. Students visualize planets as they might appear in an...

Students learn about both geometric shapes and the importance of tools as key elements in building. In this categorizing and counting lesson, students define geometric shapes and complete a matching activity to practice using their...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are presented with a circle which partially covers various geometric shapes.  Students determine which exposed part matches the given shapes.  The one page worksheet contains one problem...

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

Origami is an excellent way to combine Japanese culture, art, and geometric shapes into one engaging instructional activity! Scholars begin by listening to the story Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and learn the origin of...

Young scholars compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Pupils recognize lines and corners as properties of geometric figures and identify shapes based on these characteristics. They move through a variety of stations practicing tossing, throwing, tallying and recording combinations of shapes.

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own. They...

Second graders, in pairs, use various geometric shapes to represent fractional parts and divide them into equal parts.

Students complete a building activity using their knowledge of geometrical shapes, tools, and how to follow a plan from previous lessons in this unit. In this following directions lesson, students study the basic building process as it...

Students cut or tear a variety of geometric paper shapes and follow directions to decorate them. They define and create a pleasing collage. Afterward, they identify the names of shapes used in their collages

Students select a geometric figure and find an example of the figure in their surroundings. They photograph the figure and write a proof to accompany it. They match photos to proofs.

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Students engage in a lesson about polygons while creating a mosaic pattern. They concentrate upon creating a pattern that is geometric and has the look of a quilt design. The lesson includes steps to complete the project and helpful hints.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

Ninth graders experiment with paper folding to create geometrical shapes. Students analyze the Copymaster of the problem. After the students have worked on their own for a while, stop them and discuss.

Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.
