Students explore kite making.  For this cross curriculum fine arts and ancient Chinese history lesson, students activate prior knowledge about how kites were used in ancient Chinese culture.  Students sketch an original kite...

Students build sled kites. in this kite building lesson, students must read directions for kite building and enlarge the proportions of the given kite pattern. Students focus on the angles and line of symmetry in their kite. 

Students are introduced to Guatemala and to the tradition of giant kites. They decorate the kite sail and construct the kite. Students identifies possible causal factors contributing to given historical events.

You'll never look at floor tiles the same again. An assessment task prompts learners to investigate relationships between patterns involving squares and kites to determine angle measurements. They then prove...

In this trapezoids worksheet, students solve 6 multiple choice problems. Students find the lengths of the bases of a trapezoid given a ratio and median length. Students find unknown angle measures of kites and trapezoids given a sketch.

Students study the Japanese art of Koi Nabori or carp kites. They create their own carp kites with repeating patterns.

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Sixth graders sketch their own kites by creating a scale drawing of an original design.  In this designing kites instructional activity, 6th graders draw a rough sketch, then accurately draw their design on large paper with a ruler,...

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson plan, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter...

Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Students work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.

Students identify and describe squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. In this quadrilaterals lesson plan, students put the quadrilateral shapes into a chart.

Students practice estimating and comparing measurements using yards, feet, and inches. They make comparisons about kites and a variety of measurements. Afterwards, they complete an activity sheet and draw a bird kite with long wings and...

Connect the quadrilaterals. Working in teams, pupils use a variety of tasks to make connections between special quadrilaterals. With the properties well defined, the groups construct quadrilaterals based on those properties. Learners...

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.

In this High Flyin' math facts activity, students participate in an activity that combines various math problems that match up with each answer on the bows of the kites.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

High schoolers identify the number of diagonals for each polygon. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the polygons based on their diagonals and the way it intersect. They create visuals using the navigator to see...

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

Math word problems are the focus of this presentation. Learners view slides that have a variety of word problems on them. In addition to solving those problems, they are invited to make up similar problems on their own. The last slide...

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...
