Explore shape attributes with young geometers as they sort nine shapes based on their corners. Scholars determine whether or not each shape has a square corner, drawing it in the appropriate space accordingly. They are encouraged to use...

Get to know eight shapes by name: square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Young geometers write the correct name below each of these shapes, using a word bank for guidance. Then, they draw two of the...

Which of these blocks match? As they learn about shape attributes and the term same, scholars draw lines from block formations on the left to the same shapes on the right. The eight starting shapes are split into two sections to...

Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

Which ones are square corners? As they learn more about shape attributes, be sure scholars understand the difference between a vertex and a square corner. After examining two examples, learners circle the 90-degree corners in 12...

A fabulous instructional activity on identifying circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles awaits your students. They use large motor skills hopping from shape to shape, use visual and kinesthetic skills passing a ball of yarn between...

There are multiple objectives in this tracing worksheet. Beginning printers practice with shape attributes and names, letters, spelling, printing, and fine motor skills all at once. For each, they trace the shape and its spelling...

In this recognizing shapes worksheet, students identify the pictures that have round or rectangular shapes, count each shape, and write the total numbers. Students solve eleven problems.

Teach your scholars about shape attributes using this brief worksheet, which could be used as an all-class warm-up. There are three sets of shapes for learners to assess here. First, they count the number of triangles, then shade the...

Which of these wacky shapes is different? Learners examine five rows of figures, each with a starting shape at the beginning. They determine which of the four following shapes looks different from the first, circling it. Consider having...

Where is the line of symmetry in these shapes? Review this concept using the visual guide at the top of the page, explaining how some shapes have multiples lines. Consider demonstrating this concept with large cut-outs, physically...

These abstract shapes are pointing in different directions and young scholars determine which ones are oriented the same way. For each of five starting shapes they examine a set of four identical figures pointing in various directions,...

This geometric pattern will appeal to learners' artistic sides as they color various shapes based on a guide: they color circles blue, triangles red, squares green, and rectangles yellow. What does this finished design remind scholars...

Which of these shapes is pointing the same way? Pre-readers examine five rows of familiar objects. The first item points to the right for each, and they must determine which of the subsequent items in each row points the same direction....

Where is the vertex? Each of these three-dimensional figures is drawn so learners can see all sides and corners. They examine an example before trying six on their own. Some of these will be tricky, so be sure kids have covered this...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. For this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Scholars examine six common quadrilaterals and identify each by writing its name beneath the shape. Next, they sketch four shapes: parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and trapezoid. Once finished, review which features helped...

Young scholars sort objects by shape, size and color. In this math and literacy sorting activity, students listen to the book Freddy the Fish and the Squash that Goes Squish by Duke Christoffersen. Young scholars work in small groups to...

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

In this math worksheet, students study a grouping of random geometric shapes including circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Students follow directions to color all the similar shapes the same color.

Students explore geometry by utilizing computer software. In this shape identification activity, students define several geometric shapes by the characteristics that classify them. Students draw and cut out geometric shapes using their...

Students explore animal characteristics by participating in an animal anatomy activity. In this animal tracks lesson, students identify the differences between specific animals and the shape of their footprints. Students utilize a...

These shapes are pointing all over the place. Learners examine rows of crazy shapes to find the one pointing in the same direction as the first in the row. Keep in mind, these aren't the shapes your mathematicians are used to. Because...
