First graders listen as the book, "Try It With Triangles" is read to the class. They name the geometric shapes that they see in the story and view the Shape Vocabulary Cards as they name them from the book. They then cut out the...

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Students apply what they have learned, from Eight Hands Round a Patchwork Alphabet, about how quilt blocks got their names by constructing and naming a quilt block pattern of their own using pattern blocks and pattern block paper.

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. In this early elementary math instructional activity, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on...

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

Students design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They participate in a paper folding activity to create various geometric shapes. Students design a mobile of the shapes they have created.

Here is a great science lesson. It extends the concept of vision into the area of optical illusions, perspective, and tessellation. This well-designed plan has tons of great activities, utilizes interesting video, and should lead to a...

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson plan, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third,...

Second graders count by 5's to 100. In this math lesson conducted on the 100th day of school, 2nd graders use picture stamps in the KidPix program to count by 5's and get to 100.

Students explore quilting. They read and discuss the book, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. They research African American quilting traditions on the Internet and name three common qualities in quilts. They create a quilt block...
