Which shapes are considered quadrilaterals? View and learn that two dimensional shapes with four straight sides are considered quadrilateral. The rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, and trapezium are only few of the fabulous shapes...

Students identify both two and three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, students listen to a teacher led lesson plan about the island of Puerto Rico. They look at the symbols and shapes on "Puerto Rico Quarter...

In this 2-D shapes lesson plan, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson plan!

The class explores Ukrainian motifs, the scratchboard technique, and two-dimensional art. They design and produce a Ukrainian style egg with tagboard, crayon, tempera paint, and a stylus. Ukrainian egg designs are similar to those used...

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

Add a little art into your next class discussion on shape identification. Provided here is a string of images that show two-dimensional shapes found throughout the art world. Oval baskets, hexagonal tiles, and round coins provide...

Play with dimensions and practice making a two-dimensional scene look three-dimensional. Class members view pieces of art and then make their own scenes by layering different materials and drawing in details. Check out all the tabs for...

Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target...

Learners study the concept of shape--two-dimensional objects--and have hands-on experience creating pictures using a variety of shapes. They identify, explain and use the basic elements of design and recognize the effect different...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes lesson, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

In this shape recognition worksheet, students study each of the shapes and then write the names of the two-dimensional polygons on the lines.

Here is a way to help your charges identify circles and spheres. In this shapes geometry and technology lesson, students identify and draw circles and explain the related attributes. They recognize circles and spheres while exploring...

Students learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use of...

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

How can your draw three-dimensional figures on paper? The lesson shows pupils how to draw orthographic projections of three-dimensional figures composed of cubes. After viewing a PowerPoint presentation, they practice this skill with...

Explore the making of a pinch pot using this resource. Learners discuss the properties of clay, including its molecular structure. Then, they make their own clay pot. As they work, they identify the techniques used to make a pinch pot,...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes to...

Students explore sculpture. In this instructional activity about finding sculpture ideas in movement and rhythm, students make 3-dimensional shapes. Students create a sculpture paying attention to balance, rhythm and repetition. Students...

Students analyze the difference between shape and form. They identify, explain and use the basic elements of design and determine that forms are three-dimensional and shapes are two-dimensional. They sketch it on their paper and then...

In this polygon worksheet, students study the various shapes and then name each of the two-dimensional shapes. Students write the shape names on the provided lines.

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson plan, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...
