Geometry Definitions
Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet.
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Learners define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
Curated OER
Poems Have Shapes, Too!
Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.
