In this shape worksheet, students color squares orange, circles blue, and count and write the numbers of each shape present. A clown is shown juggling the shapes.

In this geometry worksheet, students choose the correct name to match the shape given. Students identify the words for oval, rectangle, square, circle, triangle, and diamond.

In this 2D shape/rectangle worksheet, students view a picture of a large rectangle. The worksheet has no other associated activities, but a reference website provides additional activities.

Second graders create a shape garden. In this polygons lesson, 2nd graders practice making shapes using a geoboard and read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns.  Students also design a shape garden using construction...

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Students create entries for the Architects of America contest, including a model of a futuristic structure, blueprints, a list of all plane and solid shapes in the structure, a persuasive argument paper that describes why the structure...

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry learning exercise, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of...

Students find the areas of geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson students find and measure the sides, perimeters, and areas of quadrilaterals, triangles, and circles. Students relate the measures to the others by using formulas.

Young scholars hunt for hidden geometric shapes and compare the properties of various shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students play a game of finding squares, circles, rectangles, and ovals that have been hidden around the...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

Third graders recognize and identify geometric shapes, work with manipulatives to reinforce understanding, and create polygons with various angles to display their knowledge of the different types of angles.

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Using this worksheet, students practice identifying basic shapes, such as an oval, rectangle, triangle, and hexagon. This worksheet would be ideal for preschool or kindergarten students.

In this three-dimensional shapes worksheet, 6th graders identify and complete 4 different questions that include various types of three-dimensional shapes. First, they identify the shape illustrated as it relates to a cube. Then,...

In this shape worksheet, students determine which shapes can be put into which pictures of diagrams, marking the correct diagrams, 6 shapes total. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this basic shapes worksheet, learners view labeled pictures of a circle, square, triangle, rectangle and oval. They are not asked to do anything with these shapes.

In this angles worksheet, students calculate the size of angles, draw lines of symmetry, and form quadrilaterals in four exercise sets.  The solutions are provided.

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson plan. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape...

Students, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in...

In this visual thinking worksheet, 2nd graders determine how many smaller shapes are within the four larger shapes. Shapes include circles, rectangles, triangles, and squares.

Identify shapes based on their attributes. Second graders are tasked to color triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons specific colors. The one thing these shapes have in common? They are all polygons.

In this visual thinking worksheet, students count all the rectangles in a figure that has both large and small shapes. Students write how many rectangles they count in the figure.

In this squares worksheet, students trace three squares and draw some of their own. Students analyze a row of geometric shapes and color the squares.
