Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

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...

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Students follow directions in the ABC of Symmetry to make a butterfly which shows a line of symmetry.

Second graders write a Math Moments journal.

Students examine lines of symmetry with different shapes. Then students create their own books of symmetry with different two-dimensional shapes on each page.

Young scholars randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students are introduced to a map of an Illinois farm. They determine whether the map is of the past, present, or future by looking at features on the map. They also use the map to make a three-dimensional model.

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Learners create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Students examine the role of shadow puppets. They create their own puppet and put on a play.

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

Students create a soft sculpture bust of themselves using such as muslin. They color, stuff and sew the bust.

Students create a celebratory hat after viewing images of artwork depicting people celebrating an event. In this artistic perception lesson plan, students discover why people celebrate their accomplishments and how to express feelings...

First graders distinguish cityscapes from seascapes and landscapes and explore the features of a community. Then, they create a pop-up paper city showing foreground, middle ground, and background.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Students discuss and study the word symmetry. They examine letters of the alphabet, shapes, and artwork and decide if they are symmetrical or not. Then they create their own symmetry monsters.

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

Young scholars study facial expressions and create a face jug. In this facial study lesson plan, students look at images of face jugs through history before drawing thumbnails of facial images. They use the coil method to make a jug, and...

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

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.

High schoolers create a functional ceramic vessel inspired by the work of another artist from art history. A number of art history resources be provided as well as the Internet. They research outside of class for the written report.

Students explore the elements of contrast, emphasis, pattern, and color schemes by identifying how the artist manipulated tesserae in the mosaic. They create original mosaics by manipulating torn paper to depict different textures and...
