Pupils find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

This collaborative activity investigates the meaning of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. It begins by presenting two different definitions of a trapezoid. Learners are to reason abstractly the difference between the two definitions and...

In this solids worksheet, students identify the characteristics of solids. They name solids and determine the number of faces. This three-page worksheet contains seventeen problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

Students analyze the difference between shape and form. They identify, explain and use the basic elements of design and determine that forms are three-dimensional and shapes are two-dimensional. They sketch it on their paper and then...

In this 3 dimensional figures instructional activity, students study the 10 3-dimensional figures. Students identify and label each of the 10 figures.

In this shape recognition worksheet, students study the 3-dimensional figures and identify each one. Students label the 10 figures.

Students investigate the geometric shape of a box. They apply different construction methods and materials to create a three dimensional box. The uses of a box are covered and the measurements taken to consider its uses. Students...

Learners take a field trip to a local park or beach to collect objects. They practice counting the objects and put them into categories according to type of shape like a cone, cylinder, etc... As an extension to the instructional...

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry instructional activity, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their...

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Focus on line and color with a postcard project. Learners view various works of art and discuss line and color before moving on to creating their own work. Using nature as inspiration, pupils decorate postcards and mail them after...

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...
