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...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

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

Sixth graders engage in a visual arts lesson 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 calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Young scholars 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.

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

Eighth graders experiment to decide if a box that is twice as big holds twice a much. They work the concept of volume and how changing dimensions affect it.

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

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

Sixth graders explore the concept of Sojourner.  For this visual arts lesson, student create a model of Sojourner using recyclable or "junk" materials.  Students are encouraged to experiment and problem solve to find what works...

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 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 use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

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.

Young scholars find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area instructional activity, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the...

Students perform computer simulations on air dispersion. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate energy transfer based on specific heat and temperature change. They explain the causes of smog.

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.

Get independent practice drawing three-dimensional figures. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

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...
