In this lesson plan, students will practice identifying, creating and describing their very own patterns using positional language! It can be used alone or as a support lesson for the It's Pattern Time lesson plan.

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

Your students will solve and create shape riddles while practicing their knowledge of shape attributes.

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

This hands-on geometry lesson is a great introduction to 2D shapes for your ELs. This can be used as a stand alone or support lesson for the String Shapes lesson plan.
