Curated OER
Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures
Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

Geometric Shapes: Everyday Objects
In this shapes worksheet, students analyze pictures of common objects. Students mark the geometric shape that each item is shaped like. Note: There is a misspelled word on the page.
Curated OER
Sort It Out and Match It Up
Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...

Surface Area and Volume of a Cylinder
Seventh graders find the surface area and volume of a cylinder. In this area and volume instructional activity, 7th graders complete several activities to learn the volume and surface area of cylinders.
Curated OER
Recognizing Shapes
In this shape recognition worksheet, students complete 6 multiple choice problems, identifying shapes, telling what things are shaped like and which objects are specifically named shapes.
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
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.
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...

Shape Up!
Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Penny's Box
Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.
Curated OER
Listen to a Shape
First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.
Curated OER
Intro to Geometry
Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.
