Curated OER
Using R&R to Teach Mathematics
Second graders create a shape garden. In this polygons lesson, 2nd graders practice making shapes using a geoboard and read the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns. Students also design a shape garden using construction paper.

Rotational Symmetry
Students practice how to draw a line of symmetry inside a shape. In this symmetry lesson plan, students record the sides, lines of symmetry, and order of rotational symmetry for different shapes.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Compare Shapes
Practice comparing shapes based on their number of sides, number of corners, and side-lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
