Shape Lessons That Connect
Shape lessons provide a way for students to learn about art, science, and math.
Curated OER
Picket Fence Around the Garden
Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Fourth graders demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.
