Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they...

Students explore intersecting lines. In this intersecting lines lesson, students investigate shapes consisting of parallel, perpendicular, and similar lines. Students investigate these lines in shapes around them.

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes instructional activity, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Students describe shapes to other students who have to guess that shape. In this shape lesson plan, students describe shape attributes to other students. Then those other students have to guess the shape that is being described to them....

Have your class use online activities to recognize the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They will listen to their teacher describe a mystery shape and try to guess it. Additionally they will watch clips online about a 2D shape...

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Elementary schoolers examine the attributes of triangles. In this triangle lesson, learners compare regular triangles and right triangles. They explore vertices and angles and investigate obtuse and acute angles. Pupils draw multiple...

Students explore transformations.  In this mathematical transformations lesson, students define quadrilaterals, convert centimeters to meters, and complete a transformations worksheet.

Students utilize the Poison Boxes activity on The Nature Park is used to practice the recognition of 2D shapes and their properties. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

First graders explore facial expressions in a mirror and create drawings of people with a facial expression of their choice. They graph the facial expressions drawn.
