Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern activity, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students examine and discuss the painting, Cat and Bird, by Paul Klee. They identify the various types of lines, shapes, and colors in the painting, and design and create finger puppet versions of the animals from the painting.

Students manipulate a variety of materials and computer applets in order to explore area and the units used to measure it.

Young scholars use Venn diagrams in order to classify different objects and numbers. They then use "Venn Diagram Shape sorter" applets on the computer.

Tenth graders discuss sides of a shape and how to collect data correctly. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders examine shapes and count the surfaces on the shape. They read the history of Mobius Band and relate it to surface area.

Middle schoolers define a square and connect this information to a square root. In this square root lesson, students make a chart listing square numbers and their roots.

Students explore finding the surface area and volume of cubes and cylinders. They construct similar three-dimensional figures from a two-dimensional drawing. Students derive the formula for volume and surface area through examination...

Pupils conduct an experiment to measure the diameter of the sun. In this astronomy instructional activity,  students construct a simple equipment to collect scientific data. They calculate the sun's diameter using a given formula.

Pupils observe an activity with Jell-O to learn about optics.  For this investigative lesson students fill out a handout on the activity that helps them to investigate the index of refraction and the speed of light. 

Delve into the abstract world of Wassily Kandinsky! Allow your imagination to soar as you discover mathematical connections within Kandinsky images that explore the relationships between geometric shapes and polygons.

Discover Contemporary Abstract Expressionism, Abstract Illusionism, and Lyrical Abstraction through artists that paint in these styles. Biographical information and visuals of artists work.

This resource gives many examples of how math and geometry are used by visual artists to create abstract sculpures.

A site created by Enchanted Learning about the Dutch abstract painter, Piet Mondrian. Contains a brief biography, an art activity, a coloring page, and links to other great sites with more information.

This site analyzes Kandinsky's abstract painting "Improvisation 31." Discusses colors, shapes, line, and mood. Has a short matching exercise involving simple geometric shapes.

At this site students are encouraged to create a Mondrian style painting which will consist of geometric shapes and primary colors.

Students will have the opportunity to create a drawing of a flower using Georgia O'Keeffe as their inspiration. They will develop skills in drawing and composition and understand the difference between realistic and abstract art.

This site was created by The Web Museum, about the Russian painter and designer, Kasimir Malevich (1878-1935 CE). Provides information about his life, examples of his work, and a few links to more information.

Located in Lincoln, NE. The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden web site resources highlight its collection of American art. Find examples of 19th-century landscape and still life, American Impressionism, early Modernism,...

This resource provides a biography of Josef Albers and links to related topics.

In this engineering science fair project, students will determine which 3-D geometric shapes scatter light the most. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...

A review of the 13 books of Euclid's "Elements" text can be found here. Each of the chapters are broken down into definitions, propositions, and common notations that are used throughout this overview.

Take a minute and fill out the short questionaire about yourself. The computer converts your data into a personalized painting-- Mondrian style. Everyone will want to try this again and again!
