Individuals discover how to draw cubes on triangle-dot paper. They use cubes to build structures and draw corresponding isometric drawings on dot paper in the second lesson of the series of five. The activity also introduces the concept...

In this angle measures activity, students solve six word problems where they are given 6 different polygons, some of which are complex, and must determine angle measures in order to arrive at a solution.

Young environmentally conscious mathematicians solve a variety of problems related to the central theme of uncovering illegal logging activities. They determine a base camp based on given constraints, investigate logging activities and...

If cubism were a religion, would you follow it? Lower-level tasks focus primarily on counting the number cubes in a structure and relating the number to surface area. As learners progress to higher-level tasks, isometric drawings and...

Score some problems all related to soccer balls. The first few problems focus on pattern blocks to see relationships between figures. More advanced problems focus on actual soccer balls, the patterns on the balls, and their volumes and...

Two-axis rotations ... twice the fun as one-axis rotations! The last installment of a five-part module teaches scholars how to conduct two-axis rotations. They create isometric drawings before and after the rotations.

In this evaluating expressions instructional activity, students solve and complete 50 various types of review problems. First, they complete each sentence and define the listed terms. Then, students evaluate each expression for the given...

Have your class construct their own architectural letter. This art project focuses on architecture, or the art of building. You can connect this activity to a biography activity. Your class can decorate their initial to reflect their...

Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this...

Express dance moves mathematically. Scholars dissect dance routines and express them using mathematical notation, such as translations and rotations. They use video clips to investigate seven different dance genres.

Young scholars study mirror wells, which are similar to 3-D kalediscopes, but the end is cut off to enable you to look at patterns through them.

In this problem solving worksheet, 4th graders study 4 lines of shapes. Students determine which multiple choice shape on the right is congruent to the one on the left of the straight line.

Students discover the difference between form and shape as it pertains to interior design. After identifying objects as either shapes or forms, they design their own shapes and give them form. Activities include creating shapes and...

For this geometric shapes practice worksheet, students examine 7 shapes on the left side of the page and match them with congruent shapes on the right side of the page. An example is included.

Students recognize and spell color and shape words. In this color and shape words lesson plan, students reinforce their vocabulary and spelling skills.

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students classify prisms according to their attributes. For this classifying prisms lesson, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Fifth graders explore geometry by creating shapes with construction paper. In this shape characteristics lesson, 5th graders identify the different attributes that make up specific shapes and create them using construction paper, rulers,...

In this paper folding worksheet, learners will cut out the template of a cube. Then students will fold on the lines and tape the edges to make a paper cube.

In this shape coloring instructional activity, students follow the instructions to color in the shapes on the grid. The instructional activity uses the word "colour". There are 6 instructions to follow and 5 questions to answer.

Students assign value to different shapes of pattern blocks, and estimate values and use process of elimination to determine values. In this pattern block values lesson plan, students trace each block on a worksheet and use 5 blocks to...

Pupils analyze / deconstruct elements of design used in Wassily Kandinsky's paintings in order to synthesize the elements into a three-dimensional form. Works may be functional or non-functional.
