Fifth graders demonstrate different types of lines using movement. In this line and movement instructional activity, 5th graders demonstrate parallel and perpendicular lines, and lines of symmetry using dance movement. They also...

Fifth graders analyze how to divide space or shape into mirror sections to create lines of symmetry. In this lines of symmetry lesson, 5th graders discuss symmetry in dance, math, and living. Students participate in a dance warm-up and...

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Learners explore the architecture of New England by identifying geometric shapes.  In this architectural lesson plan, students examine photographs of classic building architecture and use a transparency to trace geometric shapes...

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Second graders compare and contrast gymnastics in 1859, 1900 and today. Students contrast differences in gymnastics for boys and girls today. Students pretend that they are interviewing a famous gymnast and write up their interview....

Young scholars compare Neoclassical objects from the Getty collection to American civic architecture of the time. They discuss the moral and political ideas of the Enlightenment and articulate how these art forms influenced democratic...

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...
