Covering Spaces
Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this instructional activity. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.
Curated OER
Grasping Geometry
Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.
Curated OER
Leaf Stencil Design
Students design a pattern from a single shape and use overlapping to create color blends. They experiment with the effects of using a stencil.

Geo Jammin' - Day 4, Lesson 15: Geo Jingo Jivin'
Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.
Curated OER
That's So Square
Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the instructional activity, they sketch each shape and...
Curated OER
Cut, Construct and Think 3
Young scholars identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.
Curated OER
Cut, Construct and Think - 4
Students identify polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify and describe polygons. Students create new shapes out of the shapes they are given.
Curated OER
3-D Paper Sculpture
Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They participate in a paper folding activity to create various geometric shapes. Students design a mobile of the shapes they have created.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 2, Lesson 7: Start At Square One
Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.
Curated OER
The Folding Problem
Ninth graders experiment with paper folding to create geometrical shapes. Students analyze the Copymaster of the problem. After the students have worked on their own for a while, stop them and discuss.
Curated OER
Cover the Triangle
Learners explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

Creating Polygons
Pupils describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Geometry House!
Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Sense-Ability
Students use comparisons, graphing, patterning, and sorting, and develop language skills as they explore the five senses.
Curated OER
Elements of Art
Students explore three topics of elements of art in this seven lessons unit. An overview of light, space, figure, ground, pattern, balance and symmetry are presented in this unit.
Curated OER
Corn Prints and Henri Matisse
Fourth graders observe prints and paintings as the teacher discusses various design elements (repetition, variety, texture, pattern, etc.) used by the artist Henri Matisse. They look at and discuss Indian corn and then make a print that...
Curated OER
Tracing Straight Line Patterns
In this tracing lines instructional activity, students trace 15 dotted examples of simple straight line patterns. There are no directions on the page.
Curated OER
Fruity Counters
Students use fruit counters. In this patterns lesson plan, students identify different fruits, sort the fruits by color, shape and size, and make a pattern using the fruits.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Students make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.
Curated OER
How Many Toothpicks?
Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.
Curated OER
Give It a Whirl
Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.
Curated OER
Interpreting Data
In this interpreting data worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems using different data types. First, they collect raw data from a paragraph shown. Then, students identify the examples of two different types...
