In this literacy learning exercise, learners use the sheet for the cover of a shape book that emphasizes the letter "o" and an octagon.

Students examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

Young scholars discover the plain shapes that make up space shapes. They match and stamp shapes together, and create their own space shapes. Students apply what they know about space shapes to make amuseum of shapes. Finally, they...

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...

Tenth graders investigate the geometric concept of quadrilaterals. They are given a set of shapes and asked to sort the quadrilaterals from the others. Then working in pairs they discuss the characteristics and write down the description...

Students use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance music can...

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 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.

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...

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.

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 online shape activity learning exercise, students color the shapes online and print out the copy. Students may use the shapes for writing poems, word lists, reports, vocabulary words, and other activities.

For this pattern worksheet, students choose the shape that comes next in a pattern. Worksheet is from a subscription site with links and is labeled as a sample.
