Shapes in Our World
Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

2-D Shape Recognition
How many of 2-D or plane shapes can your class identify? Can they get them all? Little learners view and review the names of nine different shapes, such as rectangle, square, triangle, and circle, to name a few.

2-D Shapes: properties Review
Play to review the various properties that help us identify 2-D shapes. Five different shapes are presented first by their properties only, these clues are then used to identify each shape. This is a great warm up activity, especially...

Mining Shapes
In this 2-D shapes lesson, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson!

Color the Right Shapes
I remember doing this activity when I was little. Learners color each shape the color indicated at the top of the page. Squares are blue, cubes are red, circles are green and so on. There are 30 shapes to identify and color.

Which Geometric Shape is Different?
What is the difference between a star and a triangle? Its attributes of course. Discuss the basic shapes with your class, then have them practice identifying shapes by circling the one in each row that is different.

Identify Plane Shapes and Solid Shapes
First graders explore the math concept of geometric shapes. For this plane shapes and solid shapes lesson, 1st graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Levers and Wedges in the Human Body
Young biologists identify parts of the body that serve as wedges (teeth and fingernails), and as levers (jaw, arms, and legs). The hands-on activities described here should be exciting for learners to perform, and should also lead to a...

Classifying Polygons
A straight edge, a right angle, a number of vertices; sounds like it's time to classify polygons. That's right you and your class will learn all about the properties of polygons and how to classify them with this easy to follow...
Curated OER
Levers and Wedges in the Human Body
Students identify the various parts of the body that serve as wedges and levers, identifying the fulcrum for each body lever. They bite into carrots and apples to analyze how their jaws and teeth work, then complete three worksheets that...

Arctic Shapes
In a two-part worksheet, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals explore nets of...

Compare 2-D Shapes
Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. For this plane shapes lesson, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.
Curated OER
Shapes
Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

Relating Space and Plane Shapes
In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which object in an illustration has a flat side the same shape as the box shown. Then they look at other shapes and identify the ones with a flat side, if any.

Branding Circles, Squares, Rectangles, Triangles
Compare and classify 2-D shapes! Kindergarteners inspect the attributes of plane shapes and examine shapes in everyday life. They label the circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles they find. This is the website where you can find the...

Shapes
Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Interactivate - Lines, Rays, Line Segments, and Planes
Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.
Curated OER
Making and Describing Shapes
Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes. Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties. They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and then take...
Curated OER
Identify Faces
In this solid shapes learning exercise, students learn to identify solid shape faces. Students identify the solid shapes and the faces in the six word problems.
Curated OER
Shapes and Coordinates
In this shapes and coordinates worksheet, students identify the shapes that are located and given coordinates on graphs. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Attributes of Plane Shapes
In this math worksheet, students study a grouping of random geometric shapes including circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Students follow directions to color all the similar shapes the same color.
