Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent shapes with a...

Fourth graders use dancing methodology in a polygon and shape activity. In this shape and dance lesson, 4th graders discuss shapes in dance, math, and everyday life. Students use dancing activities to recognize and analyze shapes.

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

Fourth graders explore geometric properties and relationships in a two-dimensional work of art. They first search for and identify polygons in a Cubist painting and then use polygons to create their own Cubist portrait of a classmate.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Second graders study movements. In this dance lesson, 2nd graders draw patterns selecting one to represent through movement with their body.

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra lesson, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy bands...

Youngsters explore visual arts by participating in a geometry identification activity. They read the book The Very Busy Spider and identify the techniques spiders use to create webs. Have you ever noticed that their webs are geometric...

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Pupils explore geometry by creating jewelry in class. In this polygons lesson plan, students identify different shapes and characteristics while creating polygon figures from construction paper. Pupils utilize a multitude of shapes...

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. For this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Tenth graders identify homogeneous tessellations. In this model-based lesson, 10th graders make and identify homogeneous tessellations, both regular and semi-regular.

In this 3 dimensional figures worksheet, students study the 10 3-dimensional figures. Students identify and label each of the 10 figures.

Students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques. Then they experiment with the negative and positive space of a cutout. Students also follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday...

How well does your class know their shapes? This interactive shape quiz provides learners with four clues which they will use to determine identify each shape. This is an excellent way to assess how well learners know their shapes and...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

Students research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram lesson, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Students construct a set of tangrams, compare the...

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Students examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Students identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...

Fifth graders practice fraction skills by making quilts using paper or cloth for the squares and rectangles. Each square of the quilt is an equivalent fraction which they design. Students can also use this activity to demonstrate how to...

Learners complete readings on kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system interconnect and influence each other. Students identifies and uses color and form in a 3D artwork.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...
