These hands on geometry lessons and activities focus on 2D and 3D shapes. Students will be composing shapes, identifying their attributes, and discussing the difference between defining and non-defining attributes.

The objectives of these lessons, activities, and printables are:

Students will be able to:
– Identify common 2D shapes and their attributes.
– Identify common 3D shapes and their attributes.
– Identify defining and nondefining attributes.
– Compose 2D and 3D shapes

In this unit:
