Showing Results for "basic shapes"

Tasty subtraction! Your students will have a delicious time learning to subtract with a treat they can eat when they are finished.

Basic Subtraction with Marshmallows

Students will love composing and decomposing two-dimensional shapes using tangram puzzle pieces. Use this plan alone or to frontload key vocabulary and concepts taught in the lesson plan **Know Your Shapes.**

Composing Shapes

Students will use their hands to mold clay into shapes, then divide those shapes into equal and unequal quarters.

Dividing Clay Shapes

In this lesson, your students will become familiar with shapes by identifying them in real life. Your students will love identifying how many sides shapes have by drawing and counting them!

Know Your Shapes!

The best way to learn about shapes? Make them! This lesson gets students using clay to make and learn about 3-D shapes. 

3-D Shapes...Create!

Your students will have a blast thinking about polygons and making these paintings inspired by Wassily Kandinsky!


Kandinsky Shapes

With this activity, students will identify shapes, build 3-D shapes, and practice describing shapes with a partner.

Shape Models

Shape up your students' understanding of geometrical attributes with this hands-on math lesson. Students will gain a better understanding of how to describe a shape by the number of edges and vertices it has, rather than by its name.

2-D Shapes

This simple lesson plan will help your students gain a basic understanding of different body parts.

My Body

Help your students learn about earth with this lesson that teaches them about the most basic component-dirt!

We've Got the Dirt!

Give your students a great basis in mathematics with this lesson that has them use a number line to find differences for basic subtraction facts. 

What's the Difference?

Give your students a head start on 3D shapes with this lesson that has them use their observational skills to identify what differentiates the shapes.

Solid Shape Sort

Students will explore geometric shapes by creating a painting of a trapezoid.

Trapezoids Are Special

Teach your students about the shapes that make up the world around them with this lesson that has them identify shapes in the classroom and in drawn scenes.

The Shape of Me and Other Stuff

In this lesson, your students will break down composite figures to identify 2-D shapes that make them. Students will put together 2-D shapes to create a composite shape.

Break it Down, Put it Together

Introduce your class to composite shapes with this lesson that reviews geometric shapes and makes use of tangram puzzles. This lesson will give your students a strong base for learning geometry later on in their school careers.

Terrific Tangrams!

Students will work hard to build shapes with straws in this hands-on lesson about the defining attributes of triangles. Use alone or with **Know Your Shapes.**

Triangle Time

In this lesson, your students will play "I Spy" to identify 3-D shapes. They will use language to describe the shapes and be able to compare them easily.


Comparing Solids

In this lesson, your students will strengthen their basic fact fluency and determine whether or not number sentences are true. Engage your students by giving them worksheets at their level. 

Gone Fishing: Equations

Make maps relevant for your class! With an introduction to basic map skills, students will discover the nuts and bolts of how maps are designed. They will even have the chance to map out relevant places like their school and neighborhood!

More and More Maps!

Explore 3-D shapes with your students and help them identify and talk about the relevant attributes of three-dimensional shapes, all while using real-world examples! Use this as a stand-alone lesson or alongside the Shape Models lesson.

3-D Scavenger Hunt

One of the basic concepts in science is recognizing that all things can be classified as living or nonliving. In this lesson, your students will explore the characteristics of living and nonliving things with engaging hands-on activities.

Living or Nonliving? How to Tell

Geometry is a core of mathematics in the early years. Help students recognize and draw shapes given specific attributes such as the number of corners and sides. This lesson can be a stand-alone activity of paired with 2-D Shapes!

Sides, Corners, and More, Oh My!

Practice subtraction with art! Help early learners grasp the concept of "taking away" using drawings. This lesson helps students work toward subtraction with numerals, and the mastery of simple shapes.

Art Subtraction

Students will learn out how to partition a rectangle using by partitioning shapes with rows and columns.

How Many Squares?

This winter-themed lesson plan, which incorporates the book *Tree of Cranes* by Allen Say, teaches students about Japanese traditions and customs. They will review the basic elements of a narrative story, and then write their own narratives about a special event or moment in their life.

Tree of Cranes

Notetaking doesn’t just have to fit in a square! In this lesson, students will use different shapes to help them take notes and remember what they should be paying attention for as they read. 

Fill in the Shape Notetaking

It’s pizza time! Students will be introduced to the concept of partitioning shapes to create fractions that demonstrate halves, fourths, and eighths. This lesson is the first of two lessons that address second grade fraction concepts.

Slice It Up! (Part One)

Slice those pieces and mix it up! In this lesson that follows “Slice It Up! Part One,” students will begin recognizing different ways to create equal shares in whole shapes, creating a fraction poster by the end of the lesson.

Slice it Up! (Part Two)

Help your students use rulers in the classroom with this lesson! Encourage them to measure items around them using centimeters to understand shapes and sizes.
