What is an annulus? Pupils first learn about how to create an annulus, then consider how to find the area of such shapes. They then complete a problem set on arc length and areas of sectors.

It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, learners solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

Young scholars solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

You'll be over the moon about finding a useful resource for describing patterns. Aspiring mathematicians drag moon and star shapes to complete a shape pattern. Additionally, they must write an algebraic equation to describe the pattern.

Connect literature (Jack the Builder) with mathematical concepts. In a series of computation, geometry and number sense activities, pupils count on to add, count back to subtract, build cylinders, cones, and rectangular prisms, and name...

In this early childhood math worksheet, learners practice distinguishing shapes as they match the square, triangle, circle, pyramid, and cube shapes to the appropriate names in the right-had column.

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry...

Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.

First graders explore 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, 1st graders examine the attributes of 2 -dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. They also create the shapes as they build models. This lesson...

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. For this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

In this solid shapes worksheet, students read descriptions of solid shapes, then label a set of pictures with either box, cylinder, pyramid or cone. 

In this second grade geometry worksheet, 2nd graders answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric shapes, with the answers available online.

Fifth graders participate in a review game of geometry topics. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders use the "Eggspert" interactive classroom game system to review the geometry skills taught that week. Students work in teams to...

In this exploring projective geometry worksheet, students use computer software for instruction, then answer 9 questions about 3D drawings.

Fourth graders capture geometry in nature. In this nature of geometry lesson, 4th graders use digital cameras to find real life examples of geometric terms.  Students create a presentation using the digital pictures and terms with...

In this 4th grade geometry worksheet, students complete a set of 20 questions related to grade 4 geometry concepts. An answer key is included. 

Fifth graders discover lines of symmetry for shapes and everyday objects. In this lines of symmetry lesson, 5th graders use a butterfly outline to find lines of symmetry. Students analyze everyday objects for symmetry and use...

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

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

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.
