Students build geodesic domes using newspaper after watching a video about the architectural concepts used in building domes. They decide which geometric shapes can be used to build the strongest building.

High schoolers study the architectural designs of different popular sites. In this math lesson plan, students draw a grid diagram. They explain what geodesic algorithms are used for.

Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.

Invite your learners to take a closer look at the art and mathematical function of dome buildings as designed by the ancient Romans. In the next segment of this attractive worksheet set, your young historians will then learn about...

In this geometry worksheet, students define important vocabulary dealing with circles. They measure cricles to the nearest degree. There are 11 word problems to be solved.

Students discuss the changes we face and what kind of future house designs students can imagine. They create a floor plan, make an architectural drawing, and write a short description about their future house.

Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

Students find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Students define an arc and calculate its length. In this geometry lesson, students find examples of arc in the real world. They show their understanding of arcs through problem solving.

A geodesic dome is constructed using newspaper for this activity. The activity is accompanied by a lesson plan, and a link to a 'Shapes Lab' where you can see through animation the strength of various shapes for construction.

Geodesic domes are made of interconnected triangles that approximate the shape of a sphere. This project shows you how to build a geodesic dome using rolled-up newspapers and tape and then test how much weight your dome can support.

This site from the University of California deals with different applications and topics pertaining to triangles, particularly triangulation.
