Students formulate a definition of tessellations by comparing and contrasting different patterns and shapes of real objects. They discuss the relatioship between shapes and patterns as well as their function in the real world. Students...

Students view a video on bridges and domes. They discuss the importance of shapes, especially triangles for these structures. They participate in an activity in which they create their own dome out of paper clips.

Students produce original tessellations, using equilateral triangles where three unique symmetrical faces rotate, use shape, pattern/repetition, and color to create a striking composition, and create "beasties" inspired by bestiaries of...

Students strengthen shape and pattern recognition, fine-motor and perceptual skills, encouraging imagination, play and sense of self within a group

Students differentiate objects based on contrast in physical characteristics such as color, texture, size and shape. They also recognize and sort objects by color families.

Not particularly coloful, but definitely informative, here is an introductory presentation on polygons. The basic shapes are covered, from triangles to decagons. Special polygons like the trapezoid and the rhombus are also covered. Not...

Students look at several photographs of animals. They compare and contrast their forms by visually breaking the images into simple geometric shapes. Students draw the simple geometric shapes that comprise the animal. They fill in the...

Students identify basic shapes, name basic shapes, and match shapes with names. They find shapes hidden in pictures.

An engaging presentation is designed for young geometers. Pictures of basic shapes that are mislabeled, and learners must come up the correct name for each of the shapes. Simple, yet effective!

Learners investigate forces, loads, materials and shapes as they relate to science. In this science lesson, students differentiate between the basic definitions required to perform a scientific experiment. They answer questions dealing...

In this measurement learning exercise, 6th graders complete 15 word problems where they find different measurements such as circumference, area, radius, perimeter, and more, for different shapes.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders find the measurement of the angles in different shapes given. Students complete 15 problems.

In this before and after worksheet, students answer before and after questions about different shapes in a row. Students answer 4 questions total.

In this before and after worksheet, students label the shapes for what comes before and after in each problem. Students complete 6 problems.

In this problem solving worksheet, 4th graders study 4 lines of shapes. Students determine which multiple choice shape on the right is congruent to the one on the left of the straight line.

Students identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

In this word recognition learning exercise, students read words and match them to pictures of things having to do with shapes. Students complete 4 matches.

In this 3D shapes worksheet, students color the 3D shapes according to the directions given. Students color 12 3D shapes total.

In this customized handwriting:  the square worksheet, 1st graders change style, font and text then print the worksheet to practice printing and color the picture.

For this geometry worksheet, learners identify different kinds of triangles. Students are given four triangles with their measurements and are to determine which triangle it is by choosing from six different kinds.

In this comparing shapes with vertices and sides learning exercise, students choose which of two shapes has more or less vertices or sides for 6 pairs of shapes.

For this geometry skills worksheet, students respond to 6 questions that require them to examine geometric shapes and identify them as circles, squares, triangles, or rectangles.

For this visual discrimination worksheet, students match the circle, triangle, rectangle, and square to the appropriate everyday objects that have those shapes.

In this geometry worksheet, students determine what if 6 different shapes are a circle, square, triangle or a rectangle. Students bubble in their answers.
