In this game activity students practice comparing shapes and naming something that is alike or different about them.

In this lesson, students calculate the perimeter of various geometric shapes and represent the perimeter with a movement phrase. They will identify the types of angles within each shape. Other students will identify the shape that was demonstrated.

In this lesson, students will explore self-portraiture by looking at classical portrait paintings, such as Diego Velazquez's La Infanta Margarita or Raphael's Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione. A close look at these works reveals mathematical relationships and proper proportions that students can incorporate into their own self-portraits.

Knowledge in Action! Today you will find out if the students are understanding the idea of decomposing and composing shapes with pattern blocks.

Students will identify the attributes of shapes and use those attributes to draw and describe shapes. This lesson contains a detailed plan, pictures of student work, and videos of the lesson in action.

What do students love more than building? Building with marshmallows! In this lesson, students get to build shapes with marshmallows and toothpicks. Included are an extensive lesson plan, a video showing examples, a worksheet, and ideas for centers.

In this activity, students will identify shapes found around the room by recognizing their attributes such as number of angles, vertexes, and faces.

Lesson plans for students to learn the attributes of common 2D shapes. Lesson includes introduction, guided practice, and independent practice.

Students discover the differences between quadrilaterals and parallelograms with everyday items found in the classroom.

Today students will focus on replicating 2-D shapes that are flashed before their eyes and then continue working with pattern blocks activities.

Rectangle is SO MUCH like triangle! Those darned angles--they'll get beginning learners! This is a fun way to practice rectangle!

Rhombus, the mathematically correct term for "diamond" is the focus of this interactive lesson.

Kindergartners love making things, and this activity allows them to create a unique shape monster and practice numbers recording the shapes used.

Students need to share their understandings of lines, line segments, shapes and attributes.

Clean Up this Mess! The classroom shapes are in one big heap. Students will work in teams to come up with a way to sort the shapes by attributes and create a visual representation to model their thinking. Pictures and videos of the lesson in action are included.

In this lesson, the teacher will read a book about different landforms. The children will learn about the features of the landforms and how they were shaped by natural forces. Then text features will be discussed. The children will then explain how a text feature, such as images or diagrams, helped them to understand the scientific content more clearly.

Choose from a selection of Bingo Cards to play fun games on a variety of topics.

In this lesson students will explore shape sorting by attributes using a variety of media.
