Lessons tagged with "shapes"

This geometry lesson covers identifying two-dimensional shapes by their attributes. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will describe the attributes of a shape that are always true and sometimes true, and then match various shapes to the correct bin. Shapes identified are triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, pentagons, and hexagons.

This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on computing the area of irregular two-dimensional figures. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students divide the irregular figure into common shapes, such as triangles and rectangle or circles. Then, they compute the areas of the common shapes and the sum of all the areas. In addition to the lesson, there are six pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
