Same Shape and Size
Can your kindergartners recognize shapes? What about when they are in different orientations? Youngsters study groups of shapes to determine which have the same shape and size. Two of the groups have triangles and ovals, and the other...

Shape Sorting: Looking for Green!
Young mathematicians rotate, flip, and sort their way to an understanding of the different attributes of geometric figures. Using transparent yellow and blue shapes, children try to match congruent figures together to create...

The Shapes of Rice
Students investigate geometry by identifying shapes related to rice and rice farming. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the different shapes used in rice agriculture and discuss what other objects in our lives use that same...

Match Shapes in Compositions
Third graders draw shapes that are congruent with each other and identify other congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson plan, 3rd graders also apply specific colors from the color wheel in their shapes.

Attributes of Shapes
Not all circles look the same! Expose shapes with the same name but different attributes through a matching exercise. Learners examine five shapes, matching them with a second set. For each, there is a shape bearing the same name, yet...

Congruency
Some of these may look congruent, but examine them closely. There are three sets of shapes here for scholars to analyze as they circle all the congruent figures. For each set, there are three congruent shapes which are oriented in...

Size and Shape
In this size worksheet, students color the shape in a row that is the same size as the first one in each row. Students then color that shape the same color as the first in the row.

ExplorA-Pond:3rd Grade Shapes & Fractions
Pupils, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Shapes on a Plane
Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Fractions and Paper Folding
In this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Similar Shapes
In geometry, similar and congruent shapes are often confused. Shapes that are similar are the same shape, but a different size. This activity gives young learners some practice in identifying similar shapes. There are five polygons...

What Lies Behind “Same Shape”?
Develop a more precise definition of similar. The lesson begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to arrive at a mathematical...

Using Size: Taller
In this size worksheet, students will focus on shapes that are taller. Students will study 3 shapes and then draw the same shapes, but showing that they are taller than those already pictured.
Curated OER
Shape Matching
In this shape matching worksheet, learners match the shape with its other match to practice identifying shapes. Students complete 10 matches.
