Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...

In this nets worksheet, students determine which figures will make given nets, then write the names of 4 given shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction instructional activity, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and...

Have your class participate in a variety of sports and craft activities using this resource. With sports as the theme, learners work on art projects. Young scholars create soccer ball prints, a three dimensional football, and a sports...

Shape shifters examine and experiment with pattern shapes.  In this geometry lesson, they work in groups to name and describe pattern block shapes, and they discover the combinations of shapes that can be placed inside a hexagon.

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems using linear equations and algebraic symbols. There is one problem with an answer key.

An outstanding lesson on triangles awaits your math scholars. Learners focus on the triangle, which is the strongest of all polygons. They see the role that triangles play in the design of buildings, and learn about triangle...

Students examine the relationship between two and three dimensional shapes. They use their drawings to solve problems. They create a notebook of the formulas and how they relate to the real world.

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

First graders combine different shapes to create an image.  In this geometry instructional activity, 1st graders utilize squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and arc to draw a picture.  Students share their creation with...

Students examine problem solving techniques when working on spatial problems. They discover how models, sketches, and drawings can be used to understand on something works. They design a model of a bridge using given dimensions and...

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

Examine patterns of figures composed of six-squares and predict which of the twenty presented could be folded to make a cube. They then fold large-scale patterns of these figures to confirm their hunches.

Young scholars gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

Students view objects sorted by one characteristic and name that characteristic.  In this sorting rule instructional activity, students explore to find a new characteristic and write a description of that rule.  In early grades...

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes, and discuss map skills and attributes. They plan and create their own school campus maps using pre-cut building site shapes.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students match the math vocabulary definitions to the letter shapes. Students write in 8 words in the letter shapes.

Students explore secants and circles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They create arguments to prove the theorems are true.
