Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

Learners identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Students analyze the black-figure painting style of ancient Greece and its influence on Neoclassical artists during the 18th century, as seen in drawing, painting and silhouettes, or shadow portraits. In this ancient art...

Students follow directions in the ABC of Symmetry to make a butterfly which shows a line of symmetry.

Students draw a net (a two-dimensional pattern that can be formed to make a solid) for making an open top box on grid paper. They cut out the net and fold up each side to form the open box and tape the sides, then find the volume of the...

Students create a three-dimensional book about landscapes. They must show their understanding of shape, color and balance.

Students analyze Greek vase painting and create their own vase art. In this vase painting lesson, students analyze the design element shape and the relationship between figure and ground. Students design a figure/ground relationship...

Learners explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter activity, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Learners utilize grid...

Young scholars recognize, describe, and perform transformations (rotation/turn, reflection/flip, and translation/slide) on two dimensional shapes.

Students investigate triangles. In this shapes geometry lesson plan, students define and state the attributes for equilateral, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Students locate the prefix "tri" in a variety of words and make connections...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have in...

Students examine geologic time to scale. In this geologic time lesson, students create a time-scale metaphor that shows some of the Earth's important events. Students present their metaphor to the class.

In need of some dot paper for your next geometry lesson? Then look no further. This simple template allows you to maintain a classroom supply of this special paper for whenever the need arises.

Students analyze visual arts by examining images on the Internet. In this figurine lesson plan, students research Keith Haring's artwork on the web and identify his body movement artistic style. Students utilize soft stones, carving...

Students identify the narrative elements in a work of art and write their own narrative. For this narrative and symbolism lesson, students interpret narratives depicted in the given works of art and write a biographical narrative about a...

Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Students compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another lesson, students use data from the diagram to write an attribute...

Learners investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students explore three topics of elements of art in this seven lessons unit. An overview of light, space, figure, ground, pattern, balance and symmetry are presented in this unit.

Students use simple lines and shapes to draw objects, figures, or animals.They explore the process of printmaking and making multiples, use repetition of simple shapes to create complex images, and inquire about a contemporary artist's...

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Pupils explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.
