An applet is used to explore the rotation symmetry of geometric shapes. [Requires Java.]

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometrical attributes to identify and describe shapes.

Andrew is having a barbecue. Yummy! Can you help him with the shapes of the plates and the food?

In this lesson, students will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

Eighth graders are shown three polygons with equal sides and a circle. They are asked to find the area of each when the perimeter is one unit and to order them from smallest area to largest. Aligns with 8.G.B.7.

Using straws and soap, you can create geometric shapes to make a colorful art display when light shines through them.

Build a molecule in 3-D. Add single, double, and triple bonds, or a lone pair of electrons to an atom, learn what the molecule's geometric name is, see the bond angles, and manipulate each molecule to view it from all sides. Then study a...

Students use pattern shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and...

This tool allows you to manipulate various geometric solids and investigate their properties.

Students will be introduced to one of the basic elements of art shape by analyzing the types of shapes used in various works of art to differentiate between geometric and natural shapes. They will then create their own cut paper collage...

Use this applet to sort shapes according to their properties using Venn diagrams.

An interactive site that explores the elements and principles of visual art through the artist's toolkit. This lesson is on geometric and organic shape using Senufo's "Granary Door." The animation shows the formation of the various...

An interactive site that explores the elements and principles of visual art through the artist's toolkit. This lesson is from the artist's encyclopedia entry for shape which includes information on geometric/organic shapes, variations of...

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

Build a space craft for animals traveling to space on this site! Students will use their knowledge of geometric shapes to build a space craft to fit all the animals.

Seventh graders find the area of regular polygons, recalling what they already know about the area of geometric shapes and generalizing a formula for any regular polygon.
