Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Students explore the concept of fractals. For this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. For this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot...

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

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Young scholars are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Learners explore landforms and landscapes. They demonstrate an appreciation for and examine how to recognize the attributes of landforms and landscapes. Students create a landscape and reflect on their painting.

Students explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between acute, obtuse, right, alternate interior, exterior and adjacent angles. They...

Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...

Students use Venn diagrams to represent classifications of shapes and to use counting arguments to find the number of objects in a given set.

Students examine concepts of nuclear chemistry. They compare and contrast the topics of nuclear fission and nuclear fision. They predict the outcome of reactions based on the types of emissions and reactants.

Learners discuss what enables us to read a face: features, expressions, standards of beauty, age and gender. They discuss what enables us to read motion: repetition, sequence, changes in form and scene.

In this art worksheet, students view a picture of Alexander Calder's sculpture "Black, White, and Ten Red." They analyze the sculpture by first finding the "rule" in the Fibonacci sequence. Students read a paragraph about where the...

Students explore the concept of area. For this area lesson, students find the area of irregular shapes with right angles. Students break down each irregular shape into multiple regular shapes in order to find the area. Students...

Students explore the concept of perimeter. In this perimeter lesson plan, students discuss how to find perimeter of various shapes. Students use the Perimeter Explorer applet to find the perimeter of various shapes.

Students study the Renaissance and the important art from the period. In this Renaissance lesson, students discuss the black plague and religion during the Renaissance. Students read the Renaissance worksheet and learn vocabulary words...

Students explore the Elements of Art. In this art lesson, students read the book Katie Meets the Impressionists and brainstorm the different things that artists create. Students observe various elements of art such as line and color and...

Sixth graders explore the concept of Cubist art. In this visual arts lesson, 6th graders examine examples of Pablo Picasso's work and they create self portraits in Cubist style.

Students discover the focal point in pictures and create their own images using lines and space.  In this art analysis instructional activity, students create a black dot on a white paper which becomes a focal point for the lines...

Pupils explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals instructional activity, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Pupils calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

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
