Five questions—true or false and multiple-choice—challenge mathematicians to convert decimals, fractions, and percents. An interactive table displays how to write a portion of shapes in a variety of ways. A discussion question concludes...

In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze 3 figures made of blocks. For each figure, students study a second image and indicate if it is a top view, front view or either.

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

Students find two dimensional shapes in three dimensional figures. They determine the shapes that make up the faces of three dimensional figures of common classroom objects such as crayon boxes.

In this lower elementary geometry worksheet, students make a shape book. They receive a book with the outline of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle with the word that names the shape. They cut out images of the four shapes and...

Students explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

In this circumference worksheet, learners solve and complete 5 different figures illustrated on the sheet. First, they cut out each shape found on the bottom. Then, students use the shapes on the left as clues to create the corresponding...

In this geometry worksheet, students differentiate between regular triangles and isosceles triangles. They apply the converse theorem and the vertex angle. There are eleven questions with an answer key.

In this geometry learning exercise, 3rd graders draw line segments into the shape and divide it into other shapes given. Then they divide the pentagon and hexagon in different shape parts using line segments. Students also write down...

How can you find the area of a shape? Two shapes are provided on this simple worksheet which asks learners to find the area of the shapes. It's not as hard as it looks! You just have to count the squares! Before telling your pupils this...

Learners engage in a lesson plan that is about the classification of triangles and the mathematical proofs involved in working with them. They work on a variety of problems that are created by the teacher with the focus upon the...
