Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the lesson focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of fun.

Students review basic shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles, find objects in those shapes in classroom, watch Clifford's Fun with Shapes video, practice reproducing four shapes, and rotate through four classroom...

Classify and explore shapes by giving learners opportunities to handle, describe and classify 2D and 3D shapes. Primary learners will sort objects such as triangles, squares, oblongs, circles, ovals, pentagons, hexagons, diamonds, boxes,...

Third graders investigate three dimensional shapes. They examine a variety of shapes and the relationship between the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Students determine Euler's formula and they create a variety of three dimensional...

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Students identify the elements of line, shape, and color and expressive qualities of pictorial representation. Students create their own puppet frog using emotion and perform in a reader's theater. Students listen to various pieces of...

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Students set out on a scavenger hunt throughout the school building in search of photos of various shapes to be inserted into a PowerPoint presentation. Students later share their presentations with their peers.

Learners research tall buildings and identify the geometric shapes used in the construction of the buildings. They compare shapes and infer why some are better than others in building. They produce a multimedia presentation of geometric...

First graders review the placement of positional words and shapes. In groups, they travel between eight centers throughout the classroom in which they participate in various activities. They focus on concepts that are related to Geometry.

Students view a video about bridges. They create their own bridge out of paper and share it with the class. They create an advertisement for a bridge shown in the film.

Pupils go on a shape walk around the school. They record the shapes they see while the teacher take pictures for review back in the classroom.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

Students examine Holocaust memorials to discover expressive power of shapes, practice creating simple geometric shapes or forms, and practice calculating ratios, area, and/or volume.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson plan, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and...

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Students recognize different shapes, such as squares and rectangles. They make a face using squares and the rest of a body using rectangles, using the drawing pencil in KidPix.

Fourth graders explain the characteristics of quadrilaterals and describe, identify and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Have your class use online activities to recognize the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They will listen to their teacher describe a mystery shape and try to guess it. Additionally they will watch clips online about a 2D shape...

In this shape recognition instructional activity, students complete 6 multiple choice problems, identifying shapes, telling what things are shaped like and which objects are specifically named shapes.

In this shape identification worksheet, students identify shapes as circles, triangles, squares or rectangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shape worksheet, learners are given sets of shapes, selecting those given in a set of questions: squares, rectangles, circles or triangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
