This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, students explore 3D shapes, such as rectangular prisms and cubes. The students will identify the attributes for each 3D shape and build shapes using sticks, marshmallows, and other materials.  Pictures of sample student work and printable recording sheets are provided within this lesson.

Prior to this lesson, students should have worked with two-dimensional shapes. Additionally, they should have been introduced to three-dimensional shapes and their attributes with the lesson "Guess My Shape".

In this lesson, students will use a variety of materials to build shapes and use math vocabulary to explain their shape.

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 task, students are shown a series of objects, and asked to describe their measurable attributes. The task may be used for instruction or as formative assessment. A rubric is provided in order to determine the students current level of understanding.

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.

This is lesson 4 of 6 lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson addresses standards NC.K.MD.1 and NC.K.MD.2, its primary goal is for students to recognize that mathematicians ask questions to gather information.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains a set of 3 tasks (including scoring rubric and recording sheets).  The tasks may be used for instruction or assessment.The focus of standard G.1 is on recognizing/drawing 2D shapes and recognizing/describing 3D shapes.  Please remix this resource to help create additional tasks - especially for 3D shapes! 

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.
