Terrific Tangrams
Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.
Curated OER
Geometric Bingo
Students explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Students identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on their bingo card.

Which Word Matches the Image? #2
In this math activity, students learn to match the name of a geometric figure with the picture. Students examine a drawing of a geometric shape, then circle the word that matches it.
Curated OER
Which Image Matches the Word?
In this math worksheet, students read the name of a geometric figure and analyze the drawings next to it. Students color the image that matches the word.
