Show students how to use protractors and ruler in this interactive website. Teachers can also easily show polygons and quadrilaterals. Shape color size, and angle are easily changed from one shape to another. You can use this shapes website to show interior and exterior angles. Arcs can also be manipulated.
This is a one-minute video that demonstrates to students that shapes can be evenly split and that each piece is one equal part of the whole shape.
I use this digital geoboard with my 3rd grade students when teaching shapes. I have students do their best to create, 2d shapes like triangles, right triangles, pentagon, hexagon, octogon, kite, square, rhombus, and rectangles. When we are done with learning the shapes, students create their own image on the geoboard. There are many variables that students and teachers can use when creating their shapes like, rubber band color, size of geoboard, add grid, fill in each shape to count area and perimeter, and add text. Once finished you cna click the share button to generate an image to be
In this worksheet, students will look at shapes and determine whether or not they have been divided equally. Students will also have a chance to divide shapes into equal parts.
This 3rd grade math assignment contains 6 quadrilaterals that have students come up with both the area and the perimeter of each shape.
It also contains 4 word problems that cause the students to think and diagram images in order to calculate either the area or perimeter.
Honeybees create their honey-cone out of hexagons. Why is this? This video demonstrates how bees use math to maximize space and energy.
Here is a rap song about the different shapes and angles. Words that
are discussed are rhombus, right angles, triangles, acute angles,
parallelograms, etc... It features elementary students and is sung at
the elementary grade level.
This is a song that can help your students remember how to calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles.

This video sings about square, circles, and triangles and counts their sides.
