Teach your students about the attributes that make each shape unique. Use this as a stand alone lesson or as a pre-lesson for *Are You Connected to Me?*

Naming Shapes and their Attributes

In this lesson, students will create a set of instructions for navigating a life-size maze.

Life-Size Maze

What's in the bag? This fun math lesson involves using defining attributes as clues to draw conclusions. Young learners will have a great time making guesses about different objects and creating their own shape riddles.

Shape Detectives: What's in the Bag?

Your students will solve and create shape riddles while practicing their knowledge of shape attributes.

Geometry Puzzles

Get your students discussing the attributes of polygons by having them categorize statements as always, sometimes, or never true. Use this lesson independently or alongside *Characteristics of Polygons.*

The Attributes of Polygons

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

Students will use paper to create eye-popping texture and form with these self-portraits.

Paper Self-Portraits

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

The world is their measuring stick! In this lesson, students will practice measuring objects using the world around them for units of measurement.

Determining Relative Size: Measure Up!

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

Use this lesson to introduce the concepts of capacity and volume with young learners. This hands on lesson can be used as a scaffolded pre-lesson to Capacity Comparison. 

Exploring Capacity

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

Jazz up your nonfiction reading and add a little color! Use this lesson with your students to teach them to cite text evidence as they answer questions by color coding. 

Color Coding Nonfiction Text

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

Bring on the polygons! Your students will build their understanding of polygons and sort shapes into categories based on their attributes in this lesson. 

Characteristics of Polygons

Allow students to make sense of the world through hands-on activities and play. This movement-centered lesson will let your students explore parts of nature that make up our great Earth.

Exploring Nature

Emotions are natural and temporary, just like passing clouds, rain, or the shining sun. In this lesson, students learn how to be mindful of their emotions and discuss how emotions change, just like the weather. 

Exploring Emotions

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

Use this lesson to help your students learn about partitioning shapes into parts with equal areas. Students will explain rectangular shape area in fractions of a whole.


Area: Whole, Parts, and Shapes

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!

Give your students the opportunity to explore the perspectives of different characters by using the "See Think Wonder" Visible Thinking Routine from Harvard's Project Zero.




Exploring Animal Adaptations!

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!

Help students discover how to show numbers in different ways while providing ample opportunities for students to contribute to conversations. Use as a pre-lesson to Let's Jump to Add Two-Digit Numbers or as a stand-alone lesson.

Exploring Number Forms

Scientists observe and classify the world around them! In this lesson, your students will practice their processing skills by observing a group of objects and grouping the objects based on their attributes.

Think Like a Scientist: Observe, Sort, and Classify

Use this lesson to help your EL students recognize and use reflexive pronouns. This lesson can be used as a stand alone activity or a support lesson for Preview with Post-Its.

Exploring Reflexive Pronouns

This lesson will provide your EL students with support as they explore the elements of fictional text and learn about verbs in the present participle tense. This lesson can be used as a stand alone activity or a support lesson.

Exploring Fictional Text

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

Give your students the opportunity to explore the perspectives of different characters by using the "Circle of Viewpoints" Visible Thinking Routine from Harvard's Project Zero.
