Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Fourth graders apply knowledge of the elements of design and hand building techniques in clay to illustrate the concept of negative space by cutting shapes out of the form to create an intricate pattern.

Students examine different masks from Mardi Gras. They discover the culture of the area and create their own mask. They use leather to make the mask three-dimensional.

Learners create a creature using Amaco cloud clay. In this sculpting lesson, students use clay, toothpicks, and clay modeling tools to create a unique clay creature. Learners shape the clay into a four-legged animal.

Students study dinosaurs in science and conduct online research to gather written information about his or her dinosaur. Then, in art class, they sketch their dinosaur and create an accurate three-dimensional dinosaur model out of paper...

Young scholars 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. Young scholars design a figure/ground...

Students define trapezoids and their shapes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. They use Cabri software to make investigations.

Students explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.

Students create a holiday ornament. In this Keith Haring art lesson plan, students use paper mache to make 3-dimensional ornaments that resemble his work. Students cut out felt shapes of babies, dogs and angels then sew them...

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying writing...

Students differentiate between inscribed quadrilaterals and parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shaped of the polygons when it is inscribed inside of a circle. They calculate the missing angles of the inscribed...

Students create textural animal sculptures. They explore how to accent their pices to make it look metallic.

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.

Second graders be having hands-on experiences with three-dimensional solid shapes. They investigate the features of solid shapes and examine the names for them. They are introduced to making nets for 3D shapes.

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.

Students perform research into the designs of Japanese kites in order to appreciate them for their aerodynamic designs. The appreciation builds student interest in order to produce their own similar designs.

Middle schoolers analyze visual arts by examining images on the Internet. In this figurine instructional activity, students research Keith Haring's artwork on the web and identify his body movement artistic style. Middle schoolers...

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.

Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...

Learners brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.

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...
