Three-Dimensional Shapes (lesson plan) - In this activity, students will identify shapes that architects use to build houses. Students will then explore these shapes by building a model of their "dream" home. |
| Geometry & Measurement (lesson plan) - After reading the book Flat Stanley the students will be able to determine the difference between two dimensional and three dimensional shapes. |
Plane Figure
| Review Solid Figures - from Georgia Learning Connections; teaches students to understand the concept of plane figures and shapes and their traits. |
| 3D, Dude! - uses real-life objects to teach shapes. Shape flash cards are made that can be used for reinforcement; from Georgia Learning Connections. |
| Shape Riddle Book - from Georgia Learning Connections; students create a riddle book to share with other students. |
| Geometric Houses - identify the parts and functions of a house by creating a house made of geometric shapes. |
| Shape Up! - Jump ropes are used to review the shapes of triangle, rectangle, square, and circle; from Georgia Learning Connections. |
Congruence, Similarity
| Chip Off the Old Block - from Georgia Learning Connections; identify and group figures according to characteristics using Venn diagrams. |
| Congruent Companions - from Georgia Learning Connections; work with peers to discover congruent shapes. |
| Relationship Review - students go on an expedition to find similar figures and congruent figures; from Georgia Learning Connections. |
| Sorting Shapes - use congruency to sort and categorize shapes; from Georgia Learning Connections. |
Symmetry
| Symmetry Quilt - from Georgia Learning Connections; learn about symmetry by creating a pattern for a quilt block. |
| Geometry Activities - construct 2-D and 3-D shapes which we hang on an evergreen tree appropriately labeled our "geometree". |
Visualization
