Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

I love graphic organizers. My students will increase their vocabularies by learning more 2D shape terms through the use of a graphic organizer.

Look at the properties of 2D shapes to see which shapes can belong to the same group. Includes hints.

In this exercise, students practice applying the properties of shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Identify and compare shapes based on their attributes. Shapes include triangle types, quadrilateral types, pentagons, and hexagons. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video...

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

This tutorial provides illustrations for regular 2-D shapes as well as a definition for polygons and for regular polygons.

Sports such as hockey, football, basketball and tennis use balls of different sizes. Can you arrange a selection of different balls in a line each touching the next to make the shortest line? This activity offers opportunities for...

You will enjoy this shape game. It tells you the name of a shape and all you have to do is click on the correct shape. If you get confused you can have another try.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

Classify shapes based on pictures or attributes, such as angle types and side-lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Review basic facts and properties of two-dimensional shapes in this interactive game.

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the concept of two dimensional shapes and their properties.

Students learn how to categorize plane figure polygons using Venn Diagrams with this computer based tool.

This lesson demonstrates how to determine properties of quadrilaterals by using triangles. It is 5 of 5 in the series titled "Using Triangles to Examine Quadrilaterals."

This two-part geometry lesson plan has students identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Students engage in hands-on activities including identifying shapes in the classroom, creating patterns with shapes, identifying...

For this task, learners investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...

This interactive diagram focuses on sorting polygons by common properties and then you select the correct label for each section of the Venn Diagram.

Discover how the geometric shape of an object directly relates to its usefullness in this math challenge from the NCTM Math Challenges for Families collection. A one page activity that you can print or download.

This website has basic definitions for most polygons, regular and irregular.
