Super shape shifter: Students learn shapes and put them together to make other shapes.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Becky Woolard.

Hula hoop sorting: Students will use two large hula hoops to form a Venn Diagram. Then, using various colored paper shapes, they will recognize, and identify circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, trapezoids, and parallelograms.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Diane Jackson.

Geometry and art: Art museum visit: This lesson is the second in a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this lesson students apply their knowledge of geometry by sorting, classifying and counting plane geometric figures during a visit to the art museum to look at and compare twentieth- century paintings. Students then collect data and share what they observe.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Describing words: Go Away, Big Green Monster: The students will use describing words in their writing based on the book Go Away, Big Green Monster while integrating math concepts about shapes.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Paula Jennings.

Teaching shapes using read-alouds, visualization, and sketch to stretch: This ReadWriteThink lesson encourages strategic reading and real-world math connections using a variety of techniques. Students explore shape and pattern through an adapted sketch to stretch strategy and read-alouds of winter-themed books. In the final...
