Geometry Vases: Ceramics Lesson
Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.
Curated OER
Geometry in A Box
Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.
Curated OER
Geometry and Quilting
Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...
Curated OER
Geo-Critters (Geometry Critters)
Students read the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and study geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify geometric shapes and their properties. Students create a geo-critter.
Curated OER
Nature of Geometry
Fourth graders capture geometry in nature. In this nature of geometry lesson, 4th graders use digital cameras to find real life examples of geometric terms. Students create a presentation using the digital pictures and terms with...
Curated OER
Geometry in Art
Young scholars recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.
Curated OER
100 Patch Geometric Quilts
Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Coordinate Geometry
Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...

Geometry and Islam: Religious Beliefs Made Visual
Students examine the importance of geometric patterns in Muslim countries. Using cutout patterns, they replicate the designs seen in Islam and color them. They put their completed designs on a bulletin board to show to the school.
Curated OER
Size Riddles
Learners investigate shapes and sizes by creating a riddle. In this geometry lesson, students read one of two books and investigate facts about an object's size. Learners write a riddle using the facts they have read and cut a piece of...
Exploratorium
Cut-Fold-Staple
Here is an interesting activity that combines paper folding art and geometry. In it, learners have a stack of index cards that are bound together. They draw a shape on it, and cut out the shape. When they unfold their shape, they have...
Curated OER
Symmetry in Relief
Students explore radial symmetry. In this 3 dimensional art and geometry lesson, students identify examples of radial symmetry in everyday objects. Students create an imprint using radial symmetry on clay tiles.
Curated OER
Area, Perimeter and Rations Using Pentominoes
Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes. This...
