Students construct a set of tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read the book, Grandfather Tang's Story and retell the story using tangrams. Students construct their own set of tangrams using the included worksheets.

Students study quilts. In this history/geometry quilt activity, students discover the history behind quilt making and get a chance to make quilt blocks of their own. They work independently to make a quilt block out of construction paper...

Shape shifters recognize characteristics of polygons. Embracing language arts skills in addition to math, they use a thesaurus to pinpoint specific attributes of a set of polygons. They also participate in a 21-question guessing game...

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This lesson should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations and to describe...

Students identify lines in everyday images.  In this art analysis instructional activity, students practice drawing diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines on pieces of chart paper.  Students examine a page from a magazine and...

Third graders observe angles in their classroom and create an angle finder to represent them.In this angles lesson, 3rd graders classify angles as acute, obtuse, right or straight. Students find the differences and similarities in angles.

Students investigate solid shapes. In this geometry activity, students take pictures of solid shapes and classify their pictures according to the vocabulary terms: edge, face and vertex. Students present their findings to the class.

Students construct tangram patters. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Grandfather Tang's Story and visit various websites to practice covering figures with tangrams. Students attempt to construct animal shapes using puzzles.

Combine math and language arts in the same lesson with a reading passage about number prefixes in geometric shapes. After reading several short paragraphs about the different prefixes used in shape names, kids answer five comprehension...
