Describe Shapes
- Grade:
- 1
- Subject:
- Math
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.
Find the Perimeter of a Rectangle
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on finding the perimeter of a rectangle. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem to find the rectangle's length and width. Then, they substitute the rectangle's length and width into the perimeter formula and compute the perimeter. Finally, they label the answer with the correct unit of measurement. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Classify Triangles by Their Attributes
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on classifying triangles by their attributes. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify equal sides on a triangle and classify the triangle by its sides.

Calculate the Area of a Rhombus
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a rhombus. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a rhombus and use one of two methods (the product of base and height or one-half the product of the diagonals) to calculate its area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
