Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

Young scholars identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Sixth graders engage in a visual arts instructional activity featuring still life sketching and watercolor painting created by individual students.

Sixth graders identify and use the concepts of shading, outline, and watercolor wash. They design a unique sequential still life painting with pencils and watercolors.

Students appreciate the art of the artist Keith Haring. They design and implement Keith Haring-like images for a wall mural and explain and experience a project containing many different compenents and processes from beginning to end.

Don't worry if you do not have the mentioned textbook; there is enough material here for you to carry out a pertinent polygon plan. After introducing your class to various polygons and the prefixes that help identify them, hand out...

Students explore environmental awareness through reusing materials. In this environmental awareness lesson, students use trash to create a "trashasaurus," a large dinosaur sculpture made from waste. Detailed structure and papier-mâché...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Students explore map distortion. In this geography activity, students compare Mercator projection maps to globes in order to understand the strengths and weaknesses of projection maps.

Middle schoolers explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Middle schoolers collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Students discuss relief sculptures and examine many examples of Roman urns with relief sculptures. They consider the information these urns give us about Roman culture and then use drywall to design and create their own relief sculpture...

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Students take a sample of fish and try to determine how many fish are in the sea.  In this scientific sampling lesson, students explore the way scientists measure large areas of samples. Students record the distribution in a quadrant.

Second graders locate, comprehend, interpret, evaluate, maintain, and apply information, concepts, and ideas found in literature, the arts, symbols, recordings, video and other graphic displays, and computer files in order to perform...

Second graders describe a polygon in the form of a riddle.

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area activity, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Given a net for a three-dimensional figure, the student will make conjectures and draw conclusions about the three-dimensional figure formed by the given net.

In this activity, students learn to draw a three-dimensional figure using Isometric Dots in the Explorer Draw App on the calculator. They also find the area and volume of a rectangular prism. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of three-dimensional figure drawings. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page...
