Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

Learn about the properties of 2-D shapes: circles, triangles, polygons, and quadrilaterals. Includes information, video, and examples about each, with games and quizzes for reinforcement.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

Describes, with illustrations, the basic two-dimensional shapes students will encounter in elementary Math.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart describes the characteristics of polyhedrons and asks students to classify figures according to the number of vertices, faces, and bases of the figures.

This two-part geometry lesson plan has students identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Students engage in hands-on activities including identifying shapes in the classroom, creating patterns with shapes, identifying...

Do you need practice remembering or learning different geometry vocabulary words and definitions? This matching game is the web site for you! There is a link to a list of terms with definitions you can click if you want to see if you are...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart helps students to analyze and compare various two-dimensional shapes according to the vertices, sides and parallel lines. It features "containers" created in Version 3 (can be used with...

The students will explore angles, rays, line segments, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and two-dimensional figures through the use of the book Shape Up! Fun With Triangles and Other Polygons by David A. Adler. They will also...

Lesson plan that helps students explore the attributes of polygons through the use of cooperative groups. Students use jigsaw puzzles and foldable polygons. They also connect the attributes of specific polygons with objects in the real...

This activity is a unique and fun way to review perimeter, angles, and types of adjectives. Students pick an object from the classroom that will fit in a paper lunch bag. They investigate their object and fill in the attached sheet. You...
