Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Students create a two, three, or four-dimensional collage or assemblage. They use shapes, colors, images, objects, and textures to create their collage.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

In this art worksheet, students read a 1 page article on the history or art, prepare their background to making a collage, gather basic shapes, create their collage and then add in the finishing touches to them.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students creating chords intersection using circles. For this geometry lesson, students create visuals of chords ad their properties using Cabri technology. They measure the chords and explore the relationship among chords.

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 find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Fourth graders apply knowledge of the elements of design and hand building techniques in clay to illustrate the concept of negative space by cutting shapes out of the form to create an intricate pattern.

Learners identify the secant segment of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate secant lines formed outside the circle. They use Cabri software to create drawings and explore circles and secants.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students define trapezoids and their shapes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. They use Cabri software to make investigations.

Fifth graders draw and color unique scenes from their own versions of fairy tales, and create pop-up books.

Students create a creature using Amaco cloud clay. In this sculpting instructional activity, students use clay, toothpicks, and clay modeling tools to create a unique clay creature. Students shape the clay into a four-legged animal.

Students analyze Greek vase painting and create their own vase art. In this vase painting lesson, students analyze the design element shape and the relationship between figure and ground. Students design a figure/ground relationship...

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 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.

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Second graders explore triangles and quadrilaterals. They rotate to various centers in the room to identify and examine triangles and quadrilaterals. After presenting a picture to the class, 2nd graders locate right angles, triangles...

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson plan, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Students create textural animal sculptures. They explore how to accent their pices to make it look metallic.
