Students identify and interpret the internal anatomy of the fish. They also identify and define vocabulary for anatomical parts and anatomical functions and forms. Finally, students identify and interpret the differences in fish...

Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson plan, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry...

Students gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.

Learners study facial symmetry. They explore lines of symmetry, and create illustrations with multiple lines of symmetry.

Young learners listen to the story book The Greedy Triangle as the teacher introduces new polygon shapes. They use geometric stencils to trace a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octogon onto a foldable notepad....

Students work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

Students identify the basic structures of animals

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Fifth graders create polygons requested by their teacher. In this polygons instructional activity, 5th graders watch a video and listen to a song about polygons. Then, students take turns labeling various polygons and practice...

Students examine and discuss artwork by the artist Ellsworth Kelly. They create an abstract picture of two-dimensional geometric shapes using Kid Pix software based on a photograph taken by the student.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Young scholars scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go...

Students classify angles. In this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...

Students identify a tangram. In this geometry instructional activity, students read Grandfather Tang's Story and retell each story using the tangrams on a flannel board. Students use tangrams to complete an included worksheet.

Middle schoolers explore the elements of contrast, emphasis, pattern, and color schemes by identifying how the artist manipulated tesserae in the mosaic. They create original mosaics by manipulating torn paper to depict different...

Second graders manipulate triangles to discover the concepts of slides, flips and turns of a geometric shape.

Students explore volume and surface area. In this math lesson, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Students discuss area.

Tenth graders analyze a biographical piece of art by Raymond Saunders. They identify shapes, symbols, and lines that are used, and how the piece relates to the artist's life and modern society. They design and create an original piece of...

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...

Third graders consider space and the techniques artists use to create three-dimensionality within a painting or drawing. They examine works by Millet, Bruegel and Demuth and then create original drawings that explore the effects of...

Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.

Young scholars identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.
