Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

Young geometers take a look at a variety of shapes and name each one. All of the shapes are quadrilaterals, and they all have intersecting diagonal lines running through them. This presentation would be good to use as an introduction to...

Explore the visual arts by creating a construction paper art project. In this collage lesson, young artists research the Internet to examine styles of famous artists including Keith Haring. They create cut-outs of hearts using...

Three lessons and five assessments are contained in this material. Various paper shapes are sorted as a simulation of biological classification. Learners gather a list of living things that they are familiar with and design a...

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

You've just found a teaching template ready to use, all you have to do is personalize it to fit your class. It contains five number sequences or patterns for learners to complete, a place for your name, and a "prize." Tip: This template...

Students listen to a piece of classical music and identify the letter that their first name begins with. They use their bodies and movement to make the letter shapes and set the movements to the music.

Students create large shapes to sit on during circle time. In this art lesson, students cut and decorate the shapes.

In these visual skills worksheets, students study the cookies cutters and cookies and determine if the shapes match. Students then use a red crayon to color the items that could be hot and a blue crayon to color the items that are cold.

In this science worksheet, students use the dichotomous key to identify common objects listed on the sheet. Then they write the scientific name of each object.

Students use Latin and Greek words to figure out species names for whales.

In this Earth's shape learning exercise, students read an article about a gentleman who believes the Earth is flat. Then students complete 5 short answer questions.

Students use on-line resources to research their own name, determine its language origin and meaning. They take an on-line quiz to determine their "naming-style."

Students discover writing their own name with the help of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear. What Do You See?" to create context for the lesson. They create a page for a class book with the help of the teacher. The dialogue for the new book is...

In this perimeter of shapes instructional activity, 10th graders find the perimeter of the shapes illustrated. Then, they find the volume of each shape shown. Students also match the shape with its correct name on the left and find the...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students add a new angle to block play with this spatial challenge. In this early childhood math lesson, students use creative-thinking, patterning, visual-spatial, and fine-motor skills to explore the different shapes that can be made...

Students tear paper into representative continent shapes and configure them with world oceans through relative location, direction and latitude and longitude starting points. They recognize the shape of the continents. Students recognize...

Fourth graders discuss and examine examples of the different types of angles. After learning the names of the geometric shapes students identify the types of angles and then complete the Kidspiration activity, Identifying Angles.

In this bye-bye subtraction worksheet, students observe numbers and their corresponding shapes, take away two from each shape, and write the differences. Students solve three problems.

In this quadrilaterals worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 34 various types of problems. First, they fill-in the family tree with the names of the shapes of quadrilaterals shown. Then, students list the quadrilaterals that have...
