Quandaries, Quagmires, and Quadrilaterals
Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.
Curated OER
Physical Properties of Matter
Students examine the physical properties of matter. They identify and classify a variety of objects based on their physical properties.
Curated OER
Quadrilateral Attributes
Students classify quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students identify the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They write their findings in a journal. Students use geoboards to create quadrilaterals from given descriptions.

Archeologist Frieze Patterns
Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.
Curated OER
The Truth About Triangles and Squares
Fourth graders investigate the patterns associated with both triangular and square numbers. They use counters as manipulatives to depict the numbers as needed but focus on problem solving using mental math techniques.

Lawn Mowing
This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...
Curated OER
CSI Investigation of Congruence and Similarity
Students differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.
Curated OER
Shapes
Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together to...
Curated OER
Bodacious Buttons
First graders participate in games, graphing, and probability exercises to sort and graph buttons. They sort buttons with Venn diagrams and Bull's Eye graphs.
Curated OER
Shape Makers
Classify and explore shapes by giving learners opportunities to handle, describe and classify 2D and 3D shapes. Primary learners will sort objects such as triangles, squares, oblongs, circles, ovals, pentagons, hexagons, diamonds, boxes,...
Curated OER
Animal Classifications
Third graders work in small groups to investigate how to sort a variety of items into groups and subgroups. They work on a class chart based on the activity which show how the items are classified based on commonalities. Upon completion...
Curated OER
Squares to Compare
Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)
Curated OER
Primary Geometry
Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
Learners view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Learners use pegboards and string to create more...
