Showing Results for shape

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

What's in the bag? This fun math lesson involves using defining attributes as clues to draw conclusions. Young learners will have a great time making guesses about different objects and creating their own shape riddles.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Where's the other half? In this lesson, young mathematicians learn the relationship between halves and symmetry through a fun scavenger hunt. Your students will have a blast figuring out what makes a shape symmetrical.

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

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!

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.

Bring on the polygons! Your students will build their understanding of polygons and sort shapes into categories based on their attributes in this lesson.

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.

Slice those pieces and mix it up! In this lesson that follows “Slice It Up! Part One,” students will begin recognizing different ways to create equal shares in whole shapes, creating a fraction poster by the end of the lesson.

Students will solve area problems by multiplying side lengths for rectangular shapes in real world contexts.

Students will learn out how to partition a rectangle using by partitioning shapes with rows and columns.

It’s pizza time! Students will be introduced to the concept of partitioning shapes to create fractions that demonstrate halves, fourths, and eighths. This lesson is the first of two lessons that address second grade fraction concepts.

Help your students use rulers in the classroom with this lesson! Encourage them to measure items around them using centimeters to understand shapes and sizes.

How are quadrilaterals connected? In this lesson, your students will learn about the relationship between quadrilaterals by drawing, defining, and labeling different ones.

Get your students discussing the attributes of polygons by having them categorize statements as always, sometimes, or never true. Use this lesson independently or alongside Characteristics of Polygons.

Young mathematicians will enjoy demonstrating their skills with this lesson on finding area. It addresses the concepts of length, width, and square units.

Make real world connections with your students when it comes to perimeter. Use this geometry lesson with your students to discuss real contexts and teach them how to calculate perimeter.

Teach your students to find the perimeter of polygons using real world examples. They will make polygon pictures using tangrams and practice finding the perimeters of the polygons in their masterpieces.

This lesson on perimeter will let your students walk around the class to see the border, use a measuring tape to measure the walls in their classroom, and enable them to understand how math is related to real life!

Introduce your students to area and teach them to use the formula Area = Length x Width within the context of real world problems.

Finding the perimeter of a polygon is a simple process with addition! Use this lesson to teach your students how to find the perimeter of polygons.

A hands-on approach makes geometry fun! Use this lesson to teach your students about the basics of perimeter with geoboards.

Use this lesson to introduce the concepts of capacity and volume with young learners. This hands on lesson can be used as a scaffolded pre-lesson to Capacity Comparison.

This lesson engages students in activity to help them understand the phases of the Moon, and why they occur. Students read literature, analyze it, and then apply it to the small group performance of one cycle of the Moon’s phases.

Obtuse, acute, and right angles, oh my! In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about different kinds of angles through motion. Mastering this pre-geometry skill will help kids tackle advanced math as they get older.
