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

Open the gate, close the gate: Open the Gate, Close the Gate is a variety of activities to provide practice identifying and discriminating between open and closed figures. The activities are designed to meet varying learning styles, and to move students from the concrete level to the abstract level of learning.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Mary Deans.

Is it open or closed?: Students will identify and create open and closed figures using labeled cards and pipe cleaners.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Vickie Fender.

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.
