Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

High schoolers create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson plan, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Students define and identify shapes by name. For this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
