There are shapes everywhere you see! Use a presentation about shapes to encourage young learners to find squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles in a series of pictures. One slide shows kids what the shapes look like, and then a...

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed...

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Young scholars describe geometric figures. They create pictures and list each shape they used to create their pictures. They discuss the importance of shapes in their lives and create ten different geometric shapes using the Drawing...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

Build on your learners' previous knowledge of geometric shapes and symmetrical figures. Then set them out to take photos of geometric shapes on campus. They assess whether the photos contain symmetry or not. 

Fifth graders explore shapes. They recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Pupils discuss the properties and criteria for each shape they find in real life and construct a Kid Pix project using pictures of the...

How many of 2-D or plane shapes can your class identify? Can they get them all? Little learners view and review the names of nine different shapes, such as rectangle, square, triangle, and circle, to name a few.

Assess and document your autistic or special needs learner's progress toward shape recognition. This assessment prompts the child to circle one shape in a row of three. A simple tool is a quick way to check for understanding.

As the green squares are removed, a little piece of the puzzle is revealed. What is it? A square, a triangle, a cow? Have your class guess their way to identifying five different plane shapes.

Work on drawing and identifying triangles with a math worksheet. After kindergartners trace triangles at the top of the page, they draw their own versions underneath, and color the triangles that are hidden amid other geometric shapes.

In this math worksheet, students examine the two and three dimensional shapes. They use the observations in order to define the different points of view.

Help your budding writers become familiar with letter shapes using a pattern worksheet. They examine three patterns, tracing a dotted line to continue them to the end of the page. For each, they also draw the pattern freehand below. This...

Students imagine they are animals in the Palace Facade painting. In this Palace Facade lesson plan, students observe and discuss the geometric and organic shapes in the painting shown to them.

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson plan, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. For this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their...

Students listen to the book Shapes Sally Snake Can Make while they hold their own snake made out of a pipe cleaner. In this shapes lesson, students develop their listening skills while the book is read to them, and then they manipulate...

Students identify two- and three-dimensional figures and associate them with real-world objects.  In this geometry lesson, students are read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and complete several activities including a chart...

First graders learn the names of geometric shapes and about African cultures. For this geometry and culture lesson, 1st graders describe real world objects and learn to name them with geometric terms such as square, circle, and triangle....

An excellent resource for a geometry class, as well as for an electrical engineering course. A thorough reference sheet covers geometric shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, and circles, as well as 3-D shapes and the Pythagorean...

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

What a fantastic resource! The class practices finding the area and perimeter of various regular and irregular shape by first counting the grid squares inside each shape, and then by using the traditional formula. The process is fully...
