Showing Results for create mosaics with shapes

Look all around! We can find 2D shapes inside 3D shapes wherever we go! In this lesson, students will sort shapes and recognize the 2D components of common 3D shapes.

Shapes Inside Shapes

Give your students some early practice with shapes using this simple lesson. Young learners will have a great time creating shapes using pieces of string.

String Shapes!

Shapes, shapes everywhere! In this lesson, your students will identify shapes and differentiate between the geometrical figures. They will also learn about sides and angles in every shape.

Quizzical Shapes

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.**

Composing Shapes

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

Dividing Clay 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!

Know Your Shapes!

Your students will get right to the point with this small group activity! Your students will use large push pins to punch out shapes, all while improving fine motor skills and creating class books to read when the activity is finished.

Punched-Out Shapes

2D shapes are all around us! In this lesson students will explore the properties of four different shapes—triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares! They will learn that they can find these shapes anywhere in the world around us.


Finding All of the Flat Shapes

Students will get hands-on experience manipulating shapes in this preschool-friendly activity. With the help of shape blocks and worksheets, little learners will get the hang of squares, triangles and rectangles in no time.

Shapes and Shadows

Use this great lesson to get your students interested in learning about basic shapes! This lesson integrates a sensory activity with learning and lets students get a little messy.

Fingerpaint and Fun with Shapes

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.

Slice it Up! (Part Two)

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.

Slice It Up! (Part One)

Go to any length to test your students' understanding of perimeter calculations. Students will use their understanding of the perimeter of rectangular shapes to create rectangles that have different side measurements but equal perimeters.

Perfect Perimeter

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

Trapezoids Are Special

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

Shape Models

Line plots are a great way to introduce your students to graphing data. In this lesson, your students will learn how to create a line plot and also practice interpreting line plots. 

What is it Telling Me? Creating and Interpreting Line Plots

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

Geometry Puzzles

It’s magic! In this lesson, students will “magically” move shapes together to form new shapes. Clay and toothpicks equal hands-on fun! Tangram challenges are provided for those students who need that little extra challenge.

Magical Movement

Use a scavenger hunt, art activity, and stickers to help kindergarteners understand shapes and positional language. 

Where Is It?

Detective time! In this lesson, your students will become shape detectives and go on a shape hunt to find the missing shapes on a grid.

A Place for a Shape

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!

Sides, Corners, and More, Oh My!

Students will love composing shapes using tangrams in this hands-on lesson! Use this plan alone or as a support lesson plan for the **Tangrams: An Ancient Chinese Puzzle** lesson plan.

All About Tangram Puzzles

High order thinking skills are critical skills for students of all ages. In this lesson, your students will create word problems about money.

What's the Problem?

Practice subtraction with art! Help early learners grasp the concept of "taking away" using drawings. This lesson helps students work toward subtraction with numerals, and the mastery of simple shapes.

Art Subtraction

In this hands on lesson, students create squares with different fraction pieces while building their knowledge of adding fractions with different denominators.

Building Squares

Numbers are blooming! In this flower-themed lesson, students will create a piece of math artwork that will help them practice recognition of numbers through ten.

Blooming Numbers

Help your students create a basis for future math classes with this lesson that teaches children about math expressions and how they can interpret them.

Express Yourself!

Students will love working together to create a display that demonstrates understanding of relative length. Use alone or with the lesson **Order Up Measurement.**

Long, Longer, Longest

Cook up a fun classroom learning experience for kindergarteners of all levels and abilities. Have students create combinations of vegetables as they implement principles of addition.

Vegetable Soup: Combinations of Numbers

In this lesson, each student will create a unique insect graph! Discuss how many insects are on each line and which lines have the most, least, or equal amounts.
