Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the lesson, they sketch each shape and identify their...

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 create their own math practice book. In these homemade book lessons, students create their own counting, number, and shape pages. When the pages are complete, they are bound together in a book.

In this math worksheet, students read the name of a geometric figure and analyze the drawings next to it. Students color the image that matches the word.

Second graders engage in a lesson that is about the discovery of solids. They identify using shapes like cones, spheres, cylinders, and cubes in various different situations. Students explore the classroom in order to find examples of...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

A great way to learn about molecular structures is to make a model. Gumdrops and toothpicks are used to construct crystal models. The models are based on theories of crystal shapes that occur because of positive and or negatively charged...

Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid.

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Second graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes: triangle, square, oblong (non-square rectangle), circle, oval, pentagon, hexagon, diamond, box, cylinder, and sphere. They...

Fourth graders, using a straight edge, determine whether a point is inside or outside of a given figure. With worksheets, 4th graders practice analyzing geometric relationships such as parallel to, perpendicular to, etc.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

First graders look for geometrical shapes in nature to help them appreciate the diversity of the natural environment.

In this math worksheet, students create a model for the geometric shape of the cube. Students use this math net to cut, fold and tape the figure.

Seventh graders study geometric shapes around the classroom. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders discuss their answers in groups to the Anticipation/Reaction guide handout. Students complete the reaction side of the guide and...

In this geometry instructional activity students rotate, reflect, and translate geometric shapes. The four page instructional activity contains seventeen problems  Solutions are not provided. 

High schoolers perform dilation on various geometric shapes. They also discuss pros and cons of dilation and employ the Frayer Model to study the vocabulary words in this section.

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Most middle schoolers probably feel that quilting is at best an activity left to their grandmothers. This lesson plan uses the Zome modeling system to get them to realize how shapes in quilting are really tessellations and repeating...

Eighth graders review solid geometry and measurement with a partner. They identify shapes and how they are measured then complete a word processing exercise on a computer. They exchange papers for grading.

Second graders explore shapes and create a Silly Shape book. Students recognize that shapes have certain properties and be able to define them. Example, a triangle is any three-sided shape. Students' job is to make a picture on...
