Your kindergartners know their shapes - but can they identify their locations? A 3x3 grid contains geometric shapes such as diamonds, circles, and hexagons, and pupils locate the shapes within the grid. Which shape is underneath the...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Make sure your learners are well-versed in circles with a reading passage. Pupils will pick up some important circle-related terms as they read and respond to the five included questions.

Use coloring to remind young learners that geometry is all around them! A simple image of a house, sun, and tree becomes the format for several basic shapes. The instructions direct scholars to trace and color each shape using a...

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target...

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

First graders learn the names of geometric shapes and about African cultures. In this geometry and culture lesson plan, 1st graders describe real world objects and learn to name them with geometric terms such as square, circle, and...

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this geometry and language development instructional activity, students take a walk and look for shapes in the objects outdoors.  Students match each of four individual  paper shapes...

Students explore geometry by analyzing different shapes. In this shape identification lesson, students discuss the characteristics that make certain shapes unique and the same characteristics that cause shapes to look the same. Students...

In this geometry worksheet, students draw 6 different shapes as requested by 6 specific directives in the circles provided. Students draw 2D and 3D shapes.

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

In this polygon worksheet, students identify and create a six-pointed star by completing 6 steps. First, they use a compass to trace a circle with a given radius. Then, students draw a point on circumference of the circle and place the...

Eighth graders classify geometric figures.  In this polygon lesson, 8th graders identify given geometric figures.  They compare and contrast different polygons.  Students name line segments, identify parallel lines, and...

In this circumference activity, students 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, 3rd graders practice drawing 5 circles by tracing dotted lines. They use the empty space to print circles independently. They examine shapes in a box at the bottom of the page before coloring 5 circles of...

In this geometry worksheet, students see a train design with the engineer. All are made with circles, triangles, rectangles or squares. Students read the directions about which color each shape should be.

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

For this geometry worksheet, students match shapes that look alike or are the same. Students are given five sets of two shapes each where they are to draw a line from one shape to the corresponding shape that matches it.

For this geometry worksheet, students study 4 pictures of shapes and using the word bank, label them. Students then draw the specified shapes in four more problems.

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...
