Give your students a head start on 3D shapes with this lesson that has them use their observational skills to identify what differentiates the shapes.

In this lesson, your students will explore the properties of solids and learn to describe them in various ways.

Use this lesson to show your students the different types of solids, liquids, and gases. Show them how a solid turns into a liquid and how a liquid turns into a gas by using real life examples.

In this lesson, your students will play "I Spy" to identify 3-D shapes. They will use language to describe the shapes and be able to compare them easily.

Students will use their hands to mold clay into shapes, then divide those shapes into equal and unequal quarters.

Students will love composing and decomposing two-dimensional shapes using tangram puzzle pieces. Use this plan alone or to frontload key vocabulary and concepts taught in the lesson plan Know Your Shapes.

In this lesson, your students will become familiar with shapes by identifying them in real life. Your students will love identifying how many sides shapes have by drawing and counting them!

The best way to learn about shapes? Make them! This lesson gets students using clay to make and learn about 3-D shapes.

Teach your students to predict and explain features of scaled regular shapes.

In this lesson your students will classify two-dimensional shapes using a Venn diagram based on their features.

Use this fun and easy lesson plan to teach your students to predict and calculate dimensions for shapes to scale in sets.

Use this lesson to help your students learn about partitioning shapes into parts with equal areas. Students will explain rectangular shape area in fractions of a whole.

In this lesson, students will recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and learn to calculate volume by counting cubes. This is a great introduction to the formula V = L x W x H.

Pick up the phoneme and practice! In this lesson, your students will practice their sense of sound-symbol relationship to develop solid spelling and reading skills.

Your students will have a blast thinking about polygons and making these paintings inspired by Wassily Kandinsky!

With this activity, students will identify shapes, build 3-D shapes, and practice describing shapes with a partner.

Shape up your students' understanding of geometrical attributes with this hands-on math lesson. Students will gain a better understanding of how to describe a shape by the number of edges and vertices it has, rather than by its name.

If young writers can learn how to write a solid paragraph, then they have the building blocks of an essay. In this lesson, students will study paragraph structure and practice organizing ideas into paragraphs.

Once your students have drafted a persuasive letter, use this lesson to help them polish their writing. Students will use a checklist to ensure that all of the most important parts of their letter are included and the argument is solid.

Build a solid foundation in number sense with this lesson all about the friendly number 10! Students will count with both fingers and base-ten blocks. This lesson can be used alone or with the lesson plan Place Value Concentration.

Teach your students about the shapes that make up the world around them with this lesson that has them identify shapes in the classroom and in drawn scenes.

In this lesson, your students will break down composite figures to identify 2-D shapes that make them. Students will put together 2-D shapes to create a composite shape.

Teach your students about the attributes that make each shape unique. Use this as a stand alone lesson or as a pre-lesson for Are You Connected to Me?

Science can be sticky! This interactive lesson with an ooey-gooey ending will solidify your students' understanding of the states of matter!

Students will work hard to build shapes with straws in this hands-on lesson about the defining attributes of triangles. Use alone or with Know Your Shapes.

In this lesson, your students will use hands-on visuals to learn about fractions! Your students will love using manipulatives to practice placing fractions on a number line.

Introduce your class to composite shapes with this lesson that reviews geometric shapes and makes use of tangram puzzles. This lesson will give your students a strong base for learning geometry later on in their school careers.

Students will explore geometric shapes by creating a painting of a trapezoid.

Explore 3-D shapes with your students and help them identify and talk about the relevant attributes of three-dimensional shapes, all while using real-world examples! Use this as a stand-alone lesson or alongside the Shape Models lesson.

Geometry is a core of mathematics in the early years. Help students recognize and draw shapes given specific attributes such as the number of corners and sides. This lesson can be a stand-alone activity of paired with 2-D Shapes!
