Students respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label for...

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Second graders view examples of active lifestyles in works of Robert Harris, and list and graph their daily activities to see if they lead active lifestyles. Students then name forms of entertainment that require practice,...

First graders study Japanese art and apply the technique of Tansai Sumi (lightly colored) to create individual works of art. Painting, design, lines, and drawing techniques are covered in this 1st grade lesson.

Petroglyphs and pictographs are compared in these simple slides.  Some of the terms are very specific, but the basic information will be useful to accompany a lecture about this visual art form.  Images and real examples would...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

In this online math worksheet, students consider a variety of scenarios which include elements of geometry and probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

For this algebra worksheet, 10th graders find the products of 4 problems that include a variable and work with square roots. They find an expression for the area of each of 3 geometric shapes.

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems with quadrilaterals. They calculate the sum of the angles, find missing angles and identify properties of quadrilaterals. There are 16 questions with an answer key.

Students explore the observable properties of matter and utilize them in classification. They use a binary classification system to divide objects, then justify their scheme.

Fifth graders examine the roles of Aboriginal women in their community long ago. They explore the different roles Aboriginal women portray in today's society. They address any stereotyping they may have regarding Aboriginal people.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In 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.

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

For this geometry worksheet, students solve a total of 8 word problems. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of shaded areas shown a grids, 2 total. Students write total area in square units. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

In this calculating perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of shaded areas shown on grids, writing perimeter in units. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals hung in...

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem...

Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.
