Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

In this angles worksheet, students measure angles with a protractor and figure out if it is acute, right, obtuse, or straight. Students complete 6 problems.

Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Students investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from...

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

In this polygons worksheet, students write the name of the polygon, and if it is not a polygon they write "none". Students complete 9 problems.

Second graders identify shapes and measurements in everyday life.  In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders locate rectangles in their classroom and use standard and nonstandard forms to measure them.  Students view a video clip...

For this geometry worksheet, students classify polygons based on their sides and shape. There are 16 shapes to be identified with an answer key.

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

Students learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use of...

Students investigate solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

Students judge, compare and construct two-dimensional figures using a variety of materials.

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

First graders find angles in their classroom. In this geometric figures lesson, 1st graders identify, describe and classify angles they see in their world. Students create pictures that contain angles and display them in the room.

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students classify angles. In this angles activity, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a...

In this polygons learning exercise, students classify each polygon in as many ways as possible. Students then write polygon or not a polygon to classify each figure and find the measure of the missing angles. Students finish with one...

In this polygons instructional activity, students classify each polygon in as many was possible. Students then write polygon or not a polygon to classify each figure. Students find the measure of the missing angles and complete two test...

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.
