Mathematics 2: Shapes

In this lesson, we'll explore 2D shapes and how to identify them.

In this lesson, we'll explore 3D shapes and how to identify them.

Today we'll learn about shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. You will learn to identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

Turn a two-dimensional flat sheet of paper into a three-dimensional hopping frog. You don't have to be a mathemagician to make a frog. It's not magic... it's math!

Let's learn about the attributes of shapes.

We'll review what we already know about shapes and then we'll think about how we can draw those shapes.

Today we'll learn about identifying shapes with specific attributes and how to draw them

Take two different shaped containers for example: a tall, skinny cylinder and a short wide one. Which one will hold more beads? It's not magic... it's math!

Help the construction team by dragging and dropping the right shapes in the pattern provided. You must scroll to find all the shapes to drag and drop.

This is a tablet-friendly game for students to identify and match circles, rectangles, squares and triangles. Each Shape Monster only 'eats' shapes that match its own body shape.

Shapes are all around us! Let's learn about some of the most common shapes in this video.
