This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students explore attributes of polygons in order to create 2D shapes using given attributes.  Students need some basic background knowledge of the attributes of polygons, including angles, sides, vertices, and right angles.  Remix this lesson to include sample student work... Sharing is caring :)

This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 4 geometry standards. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

In this task, students identify shapes, describe attributes of shapes, and compare a two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape. This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that plane figures are different from solid figures. Students will identify and locate the face of a solid figure that matches a plane figure, such as the face of a cube is a square, the base of a triangular based pyramid is a triangle.

In this lesson, students will create and name given shapes. They will use precise mathematical vocabulary describe shapes to partner with enough details for the partner to recreate it accurately.

In this lesson, students create a "train" (or row) of shapes. Each shape in the row must have one attribute in common with the shapes on either side.

In this lesson, students explore the communitive property in the context of a word problem to determine if students have the same number of items

In this lesson, students build three-dimensional representations of shapes. They discuss attributes of their shapes, and predict if their shapes will roll, slide, or both.

Kindergartners need lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and to discuss the different properties of both two and three dimensional shapes. As students learn more geometric content, they will begin to be more sophisticated in their ways of thinking.

This lesson engages students in recognizing and identifying the properties of plane geometric figures. Students should learn that the properties of a shape to determine its name.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson students will sort polygons, paying attention to their attributes.  They will use geometric vocabulary and identify their sorting rules. Sorting cards, activity sheets, and sample student solutions are included within this lesson.

After reading the book "Shapes", students discuss attributes of shapes and take a shape walk.

One of the four goals in geometry is Visualization, this includes being able to identify geometric shapes in the environment. As students begin to see geometry in their world, the content becomes more relevant and interesting to them.

In this lab activity, students will be asked to observe and then test the properties of several different elements. In their observations they will be looking for the physical state, whether it is shiny or dull, and whether it appears malleable or brittle. For some of the elements they will also test the conductivity, malleability, and reactivity with dilute acid. From their data, they classify each element as a metal, a non-metal or a metalloid. Results will be color coded on a periodic table (e.g. Blue for metals, yellow for non-metals, and green for metalloids). They will use this to determine trends for metallic properties of the elements.

The activities in Underground Adventure guide students through an outdoor field study of soil life and some of the variables that affect soil biodiversity. Through these activities, students will gain experience in scientific skills such as hypothesis, observation, and inference. When done together as a unit of study, the activities are designed to help students answer this research question: What is the relationship between the soil's physical properties, environmental and human factors, and soil biodiversity?

This online resource provides information about the different types of waves and how waves can be categorized based on distinguishing characteristics. A simple assessment is provided at the end of the text to check student understanding.

In this lesson, students will read the book The Bears' Picnic by Stan and Jan Berenstain. As the book is read, a list should be compiled of the things the bears took on the picnic. The items on the list can then be grouped according to physical characteristics.
