Pupils compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement lesson, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only lesson and does not include instruction.

Students describe shapes to other students who have to guess that shape. In this shape lesson plan, students describe shape attributes to other students. Then those other students have to guess the shape that is being described to them....

Fifth graders examine different types of rocks and classify rocks by their different characteristics. In small groups they sort their rocks into two categories, then create three categories to sort by on a sorting worksheet. Next, they...

Students use their Halloween candy to practice sorting and classifying. They compete a Venn diagram comparing their candy wrappers. They develop ways as a class to catorgize the candy in different ways.

First graders listen to the book "Mr. Betts and Mr. Potts" and examine the career of being a veterinarian. They categorize animals based on whether they could be house pets or not, develop a class pet graph, and list the various...

Pupils describe, identify and compare two-dimensional figures. They also name and demonstrate the relative position of objects using directional words. They sort and compare two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects according...

Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy. 

Tenth graders investigate the geometric concept of quadrilaterals. They are given a set of shapes and asked to sort the quadrilaterals from the others. Then working in pairs they discuss the characteristics and write down the description...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Students create their own shape puzzles. They practice putting puzzle pieces together so they fit correctly. They classify and sort the different shapes as they finish the puzzle.

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Students sort a variety of manipulatives and use a software program that provides more sorting practice.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Math and religious studies are integrated together using using cuisenaire rods and Kid Pix for this problem-solving exercise. In pairs, they match different colored rods to represent various groups of people. Meanwhile, students at...

Fifth graders identify all parts of an egg, and explore their importance to the life cycle of a chicken. Learners compare all sorts of birds and place them in categories based on what they look like. This five-day lesson effectively...

Pupils identify the different properties of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between polygons and non-polygons. They review important vocabulary to help them understand the properties of polygons.

Young scholars familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

Shape shifters examine and experiment with pattern shapes.  In this geometry lesson, they work in groups to name and describe pattern block shapes, and they discover the combinations of shapes that can be placed inside a hexagon.

First graders identify the given math shape and then click and drag the shape name to the correct shape.

Second graders use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast buttons after listening to the story, A Lost Button.

Students study sorting. In this classification lesson, students sort buttons into groups based on a common characteristic and draw two pictures illustrating the different groups.

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...
