Third graders engage in a instructional activity that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while...

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. In this polygon lesson plan, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes lesson, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher examples of shapes...

In this shape recognition activity, learners study each of the shapes and then write the names of the two-dimensional polygons on the lines.

Let's study 2-D shapes! Young mathematicians compare and classify shapes according to attributes. They evaluate shape riddles and predict the shape being described. Here is the website where you can find the lesson...

Seventh graders create three dimensional works of art from two dimensional plans, develop skills in papier-mach?? technique, utilize elements and principles of design to create 3-D form, and develop math/strategy skills in playing the...

Here's a task that is out of this world! Given a description of a fictional cube-shaped planet, scholars answer a set of questions about the planet. They create a two-dimensional map and consider the distances between locations on the map.

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various figures...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Students identify two dimensional shapes in the school environment. In this basic shapes lesson, students watch a video about rectangles and squares. Students find examples shapes in their classroom and draw them. Students present their...

Here is a way to help your charges identify circles and spheres. In this shapes geometry and technology lesson plan, students identify and draw circles and explain the related attributes. They recognize circles and spheres while...

Young scholars learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use...

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson plan, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional...

In this plane worksheet, students find the midpoint of a line, determine points on a plane, and use the cross product to find an equation with given parameters. This two-page worksheet contains three problems.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

Second graders practice vocabulary related to measurement, mathematics, and dinosaurs. Using the engaging topic of dinosaurs, learners will calculate various information about dinosaurs and use measurement vocabulary. They will also...

What kind of tree does a math teacher climb? A geometry! Here is a lesson that includes all the geometry resources you could ever wish for in one comprehensive workbook. Class members demonstrate what they have learned by...

Students investigate the concepts related to observing two dimensional objects. They also build three dimensional objects using the two dimensional objects. The students give an oral or written explanation for how the pieces fit together...

Learners identify and match pictures of three dimensional shapes while playing a board game with peers. They take turns with their partners in spinning the spinner and moving to the next space on the game board that shows the same shape.

In this three-dimensional graphing learning exercise students identify the coordinates of the vertex of shown figures. The first three shapes show all answers. The following 8 shapes are on coordinate dot paper, with all three axis shown...
