Roundup Shapes
Shapes are all around us! Kindergartenrs identify shapes in their world and guess the shape being described. They participate in a shape hunt.
Curated OER
Circles, Rectangles, Squares, Triangles
Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In 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...

Classifying Triangles
In this classifying triangles activity, 10th graders solve and complete 11 different types of problems. First, they state whether each segment shown is an altitude, median, or neither. Then, students solve for x and find the requested...
Curated OER
Classifying Quadrilaterals
Students cut out three different shapes and put them in the correct categories of parallelograms, trapezoids, and trapeziums. In this parallelogram lesson plan, students explain the sums of the angles of a triangle and a quadrilateral.
