For this size worksheet, students color the shape in a row that is the same size as the first one in each row. Students then color that shape the same color as the first in the row.

Some of these may look congruent, but examine them closely. There are three sets of shapes here for scholars to analyze as they circle all the congruent figures. For each set, there are three congruent shapes which are oriented in...

In this corners and sides worksheet, students, with a partner, explore and calculate the answers to six word problems that involve a variety of different geometric shapes.

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

Combine color, size, and shape recognition for youngsters using this set of shapes. They follow the directions to color big triangles red and small circles blue, then count and record the number of red triangles and blue circles....

Find out what your mathematicians know about similar and congruent figures with this anticipatory guide that includes five agree or disagree with statements.    

Can your kindergartners recognize shapes? What about when they are in different orientations? Youngsters study groups of shapes to determine which have the same shape and size. Two of the groups have triangles and ovals, and the other...

Young mathematicians rotate, flip, and sort their way to an understanding of the different attributes of geometric figures. Using transparent yellow and blue shapes, children try to match congruent figures together...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students identify the shapes of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the same area and perimeter in shapes. They use the correct formula for the correct shape.

Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Help young scholars see the important role camouflage plays in the survival of animals with a fun science instructional activity. Starting with an outdoor activity, children take on the role of hungry birds as they search for worms...

A triangle, square, hexagon, and circle all have a perimeter of one unit. Eighth graders must attempt to find the area of each and arrange them in order from least to greatest areas. A terrific task for applying four different...

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

In this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra lesson, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy bands...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Who needs to buy pattern blocks when you have this printable pattern block template? Including triangles, squares, trapezoids, rhombuses, and hexagons, this resource offers endless possibilities for teaching children about geometric shapes.

In this polynominoes worksheet, students solve 9 different types of polynominoes problems. First, they identify that a polynominoe is a polygon made from squares of the same size and connected to each square. Then, students determine how...

Develop a more precise definition of similar. The lesson begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to arrive at a...
