Students learn how to identify cell addresses, format cell contents, add pop-up comments to a cell, and also apply conditional formatting. They use clues and words to make a geometry crossword puzzle pertaining to geometrical shapes.

Students explore basic shapes in art. In this sketching lesson plan, students discover that art is created from basic shapes. Students determine the basic shapes in a picture and recreate the image.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Students choose various shapes and colors to create a Valentine's 'person'.  In this Valentine's Day lesson, students design collages, make prints and mosaic pictures.  More advanced students create a Tessellation using...

Students study geometric, naturalistic, and abstract shapes in art. They review the names of shapes and name them in the portrait, Breakfast in Bed by Mary Cassatt. They simulate a baby as in the portrait and discuss the shapes. They...

Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.

In this geometric figures worksheet, students respond to 6 questions that require them to identify the name of the geometric figures pictured.

For this geometry skills worksheet, students examine 6 shapes and identify each of the shapes as either open shapes or closed shapes.

In this 2D shapes worksheet, students find the rectangular prism, triangular prism, pentagon, and triangle. Students have 3 shapes to choose from in each of the 4 problems.

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Learners 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...

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,...

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

To illuminate how afterimage occurs, create a star, square, or other geometric-shaped light for learners to look at for 30 seconds. Then, have them explain what they see as they shift their focus to a blank wall. A full explanation of...

In this triangle worksheet, 6th graders draw and cut out a triangle, cut it into three pieces, then arrange the pieces to make new shapes.

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders identify the number of sides in a shape, discover a pattern, and find the sum of several numbers. Questions relate to objectives covered on the Texas state test. This would be good bell work.

In this counting shapes worksheet, students count how many squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles they can count in the picture of a house. Students count 45 shapes total.

In this patterns worksheet, students examine five strips of patterns and decide which of two shapes at the end should follow the pattern shown.

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. In this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference between...

Young scholars utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

For this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Geometry is everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Those skillful mathematicians discuss shapes and then come up with a well-researched list of shapes seen in everyday applications. They put their knowledge of shapes to work as each small...
