A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

Challenge mathematicians to examine and sort a variety of 2-D and 3-D figures with a 10-problem solid shapes worksheet.

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple activity prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

Learners reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids activity, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Students identify both two and three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to a teacher led lesson about the island of Puerto Rico. They look at the symbols and shapes on "Puerto Rico Quarter Reverse" on a...

Students identify geometric solids. In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to the teacher read Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes  by Stuart J. Murphy. Students then visit a web site where they identify types of...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry instructional activity, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry instructional activity, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and...

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes to...

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry instructional activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on...

First graders explore geometric shapes. For this math lesson, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Learners investigate solids. In this geometry lesson, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric lesson, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a lighthouse scene...

Young scholars compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

What kind of tree does a math teacher climb? A geometry! Here is a lesson that includes all the geometry resources you could ever wish for in one comprehensive workbook. Class members demonstrate what they have learned by determining the...

Apply volume and area formulas to find the volume of any right prism. The 26th lesson of a 29-part module examines methods for finding the volume of right prisms with varying shapes of bases. Learners use the formula V = Bh to find...

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. For this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.
