Calculate the volume for given shapes by having your learners find the volume of triangular, rectangular, and other polygonal prisms. They will use the correct formula to solve for the volume of each solid. A handout is included for this...

In this shape recognition worksheet, students complete 6 multiple choice problems, identifying shapes, telling what things are shaped like and which objects are specifically named shapes.

In this shape worksheet, students are given sets of shapes, selecting those given in a set of questions: squares, rectangles, circles or triangles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students formulate a definition of tessellations by comparing and contrasting different patterns and shapes of real objects. They discuss the relatioship between shapes and patterns as well as their function in the real world. Students...

In this identifying shapes worksheet, students tell which shapes in sets are named, choosing from cube, triangle, cone or sphere. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

In this pattern recognition worksheet, students determine which shape comes next in nine strips of shapes and then draw that shape on the line provided.

Add imagination and creativity to your math lesson. Young mathematicians investigate ways to express their names in mathematical terms. For instance, they can count the number of letters, analyze the geometric shapes of the letters, or...

Sixth graders investigate the geometric concept of shapes. They locate shapes in their immediate environment and label them according to basic shape. The shapes that are found are recorded by the teacher on chart paper and any...

In this math and visual discrimination worksheet, students study a collection of small pictures, each which is part of an identical matching pair. Students draw lines to match the shapes that are the same and color all squares red and...

In this geometry skills activity, students examine 6 geometric figures and identify them as spheres, cylinders, cones, or cubes.

In this geometry skills worksheet, students examine 6 geometric figures and identify them as spheres, cylinders, cones, or cubes.

In this geometry learning exercise, students determine what if 6 different shapes are a circle, square, triangle or a rectangle. Students bubble in their answers.

In this geometry worksheet, students examine 14 rectangles of different sizes which are shown with dotted lines. Students trace the rectangles and "colour" in the shapes.

Students identify and name basic shapes and points. In this elementary geometry lesson, students use printable cut outs to name circles, triangles, and squares before playing a game with them. They play a game of "Pin the Tail on the...

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They participate in a paper folding activity to create various geometric shapes. Students design a mobile of the shapes they have created.

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.

In this math activity, students learn to match the name of a geometric figure with the picture. Students examine a drawing of a geometric shape, then circle the word that matches it.

Students take digital pictures of themselves before using a stylus pen on to trace their facial features on a graphic pad. Using an Internet gallery of body drawings they complete a caricature of themselves. In two other activities, they...

In this shapes worksheet, learners identify shapes, including triangles, squares, rectangles and circles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this shapes worksheet, students check either "open" or "closed" to describe given shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

Second graders discover math vocabulary through dinosaur discovery. In this dinosaur math unit, 2nd graders practice using math terms for measurement and geometric shapes through a variety of worksheets, online games, and word...
