Students will explore the life cycle of the Painted Lady butterfly by raising their own. They will incorporate math, science, and language arts as they graph, pattern, journal, observe, and artistically create.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Students identify and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects and compare and contrast their attributes. They identify shapes, locate shapes on the faces of solids, sort real objects and explain the sorting rule, and...

Young scholars identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then young scholars identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the...

Students create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.

Second graders create examples of Kente cloths using paper, markers, and paints in this multi-cultural Art instructional activity for the second grade. The two part instructional activity includes an introduction of Kente Cloth designs...

Students build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.

Second graders practice new geometry vocabulary by putting the words to the tune of "Hokey Pokey." students use the lyrics as a guided reading experience.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students will create a poster showing how two different cultures strive for beauty. This lesson combines art and social studies in a meaningful way.

Students investigate prairie life in the 19th century. They research quilts and prairie images online, take a photo of an object related to prairie life, transfer the image onto fabric, and create a class quilt.

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry instructional activity, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and...

Students examine and decide on a service-learning project to perform. They design and execute posters that advertise the project using geometric shapes.

Students sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the lesson, they sketch each shape and identify their...

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".

Young scholars manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.

Students can download pattern block grid paper or cutouts for class activities. Included is an activity comparing the relationships of fractional parts called, "What's My Number?" Links available to other pattern block and fraction...

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
