Third graders identify five new facts about the quilts, women, and community of Gee's Bend and finish their quilts by sewing the four edges of the quilt down. They review the color wheel and what the terms Primary, Secondary, Analogous,...

Spin the wheel of the fraction contraption and learn about equivalent fractions! After constructing their own spinners, kids use printable pizzas to represent fractions that are equal in value.

Students recognize elements of art such as texture, shape line and color.  In this elements of art lesson, students create a still life picture with oil pastel or crayons.  Students define elements of art vocabulary....

Students explore how electronic screens use only three colors to produce the colors that people see on the screen. They make and test a color wheel.

Students view a multimedia presentation to recognize rose windows and quilting patterns. In this rose window perimeter lesson, students design rose window from paper. Students review prior knowledge of lines and how they create shapes.

First graders sort toys by various attributes. They, in groups, sort toy vehicles by color, size etc. and then explain how they chose to group the toys. They write, draw or dictate an explanation of their sorting methods.

Third graders identify analogous and contemporary colors on the color wheel and identify the five facts about the quilts, women, and community of Gees Bend. Finally, 3rd graders pinned their fabric pieces to the copy paper in the exact...

Lower elementary learners recognize solid shapes distributed for making fractions. Each individual uses a wheel and determine which part of a fraction is missing. This is a great lesson for your visual learners!

There are shapes everywhere you see! Use a presentation about shapes to encourage young learners to find squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles in a series of pictures. One slide shows kids what the shapes look like, and then a...

Students read books, learn about the letter h, and eat apples all to learn about hamsters. In this hamsters lesson plan, students also use play dough to make hamsters.

Give your young scholars a chance to show what they've learned from the module. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment task. It covers basic and conditional probabilities, expected value, and...

Pupils study civil engineering, safety apparatuses in their city, and design their own city. In this civil engineering lesson, students discuss their towns safety apparatuses and define civil engineers. Pupils then design their own town...

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between math and art by examining patterns and polygons.They examine how polygons make up the patterns that form tessellations, and determine tessellations that occur in nature. Finally, they...

Learners explore simple probability. Each student spins a spinner and records the result as they enter the room. The recorded results are used to calculate experimental probabilities. After the teacher explains how to calculate...

Third graders identify and practice sewing a dashed line in an arch shape. They identify with five new facts about quilts, women, and the community of Gee's Bend. Finally, 3rd graders complete the quilt top, batting and backing together.

Third graders identify the different types of lines. They name five new facts about the quilts studied, the women, and community of Gee's Bend and begin to stitch the pieces of the Quilt top together. When finished student put all their...
