Students discover different geometric shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, and octagon. Students incorporate the use of technology by taking pictures of shapes around their school using a digital camera.

First graders practice identifying simple geometric shapes. As a class, they discuss positional words and review the words for simple shapes and their characteristics. They work together to create their own puzzle using the shapes.

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

Young scholars find two dimensional shapes in three dimensional figures. They determine the shapes that make up the faces of three dimensional figures of common classroom objects such as crayon boxes.

Students explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

Students watch video segments on shapes and patterns. They create their own pattern within shapes.

Students discuss different shapes each day of the week. Students connect shapes they are learning to shapes they see in the real world.

Learners listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.

Students identify and form a pattern out of 2-D shapes, then transfer this pattern into creating placemats.
