If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a collection of design and shape templates from the Maths and Islamic Art & Design sections of the Victoria and Albert Museum. It provides the following templates: Islamic circular grid,...

There are many other sequences that are based on certain geometric shapes. These sequences are often called Figurate numbers, numbers that can be represented using geometric shapes. Examples include square, triangle, and tetrahedral...

In this activity, students' find the surface area of geometric shapes cut from card paper and relate it to its mass. They use this data to find the surface area of irregularly shaped objects.

See how geometry software expresses geometric shape reflections.

Eight fun on-line art activities where young artists get to create, color, and design.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This resource has an assortment of teacher-created geometry activities for elementary and primary students. Printable two-dimensional shapes, area and perimeter worksheets, board games, rules and...

This task gives young scholars a chance to explore the effects of the Earth's tilt and rotation using a simple geometric model of Earth-Sun interaction that shows why the seasons occur. Aligns with G-MG.A.1.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate how drag affects falling objects. Students will make a variety of shapes out of paper and see how size and shape affects the speed with which their paper shapes fall. They will also be able...

Students attempt to make various shapes by rearranging the geometric shapes to form a tangram.

In this task, students must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves, the...

Explore relationships (including congruence and similarity) among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them.

In this lesson plan students will learn about reflection of light using soap bubbles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognize and describe visual or geometric patterns.

Students reflect on their work and apply what they've learned about the characteristics of geometric figures. Includes a learning game to be played with a partner.

Cyberchase video in which the CyberSquad must get into a vault before Hacker, Buzz, and Delete by cracking a code of shapes and numbers. [3:20]

Learn color differences and shapes as you feed the creatures in this game.

KinderArt provides a site with information on how to teach students art techniques. Students learn to recognize and identify foreground, midground and background. They also create a stylized drawing using simple shapes as well as...

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

Students will use a square to investigate other polygonal shapes that can be formed. Students will work with these polygons to make designs that will later constitute cooperatively designed quilts. The quilts will be made by translating,...

Working as engineering teams, students design and create model beam bridges using plastic drinking straws and tape as their construction materials. Their goal is to build the strongest bridge with a truss pattern of their own design,...

Students will use two different methods to determine the densities of a variety of materials and objects. The first method involves direct measurement of the volumes of objects that have simple geometric shapes, while the second uses the...

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,...

This is an interesting project that explores which geometrical shapes make the strongest bridge truss structures. It is a good introduction to the engineering design process. You'll design three different trusses, and use online...
