Thirty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Two types of cards can be found here; a word card in bold lettering, and a corresponding definition card that offers a labeled example. Terms include area,...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Second graders engage in a lesson that is about the discovery of solids. They identify using shapes like cones, spheres, cylinders, and cubes in various different situations. Students explore the classroom in order to find examples of...

Pupils investigate the formulas for volumes of various solids using the Ti-89 calculator. The instructional activity focuses on the keying sequences necessary to embed the required volume formula in a program which is then used in the...

Students identify geometric solids. In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to the teacher read Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes  by Stuart J. Murphy. Students then visit a web site where they identify types 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.

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson plan, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

Pupils calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Help kindergartners develop the academic language they need to master the Common Core standards with this list of math vocabulary. Including the definitions of each term as well as a set of word cards with supporting images and examples,...

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

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...

In need of math vocabulary cards? Use a set of 66 vocabulary cards with topics focused mostly on geometry terms. Each sheet has two cards on it. The top half has the word printed in bold text, while the bottom half has the card with...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

Students explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Fifth graders sit in a circle and are given geometric attributes, i.e. four equal sides, etc. They run around the circle when a shape is called that corrolates to their attributes. They try to tag other students also running around the...

This particle PowerPoint includes many pictures to illustrate solids, liquids and gasses and the behavior of their particles.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

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.
