Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Learners explore the characteristics of topographical maps. They examine the relationship of contour lines and vertical elevation. Students create a three-dimensional model of a landscape represented by a topographic contour map.

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Students explore Mount Shasta and various locations on Mars to examine ways geographical data can be represented. They study topographic maps and translating data from 2-Dimensions to 3-Dimensions.

In this geometry worksheet, 11th graders calculate the volume of there dimensional shapes using the formula for cylinders. They are given the height and the base and asked to calculate the volume. There are 4 problems.

Young scholars investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed...

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Students create a new playground design to present to elementary students during Playground safety week. They review basic geometry to use in observing and recording the equipment on a local playground. They research playground safety...

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Learners investigate the dimensional changes that occur in wood samples when moisture is added and subtracted. The shapes and sizes of the pieces are compared and contrasted to decide which is best for cabinetry construction.

Pupils use assorted drawing materials and sheets from a cow shaped pad to create a unique, bright, colorful cows.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Third graders discuss how shapes look differently close up and far away. As a class, they examine how artists make three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional painting. They create their own three-dimensional drawing to end the lesson.

Learners explore basic shapes in Monet's paintings Wheatstacks, Snow Effect and Morning. They study about light and shadows through reading and experimenting with three-dimensional models and flashlights.

Students construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Learners analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationship

Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Students examine the concept of protein structure. They read an article, construct a three-dimensional model of an insulin protein, take a quiz, conduct Internet research, and answer discussion questions.

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of cookie dough and...

Investigate the properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral. In this properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral lesson plan,...

Learners study writing. In this creative writing lesson, students write a story about having a robot and make a three-dimensional robot to accompany their writing.

Students work in groups to create the planets of the solar system.  In this planets lesson, students create a hanging solar system taking into account the size, shape and position of the planets.  Students discuss the gravity...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.
