Students construct a three-dimensional model of the Pantheon.

First graders engage in a lesson which teaches the concept of symmetry through the use of letters in the student's name. They use a piece of yarn to see if they can make symmetrical pieces out of their own names.

In this area worksheet, 6th graders take a pre-test about what they may already know pertaining to geometric area.   Students respond to 10 multiple choice questions.

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.

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

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...

Fourth graders use clay to create a slab vase with a surface design that emphasizes the elements shape and texture. They complete a self-evaluation of their project which is imbedded in this plan.

Fourth graders use two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, techniques, tools, and processes to communicate an idea or concept based on research, environment, personal experience, observation, or imagination.

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

Fourth graders create artwork using the pure elements of line, shape, and color as the subject matter. The artwork is then cut or torn into organic shapes which are then glued onto a background paper, leaving areas of paper showing in...

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Pupils are introduced to a map of an Illinois farm. They determine whether the map is of the past, present, or future by looking at features on the map. They also use the map to make a three-dimensional model.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Middle schoolers discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build...

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Fourth graders observe prints and paintings as the teacher discusses various design elements (repetition, variety, texture, pattern, etc.) used by the artist Henri Matisse. They look at and discuss Indian corn and then make a print that...

Students analyze mask visuals provided by the teacher. They experience a paper-mache hands on activity that produces a three dimensional product. Students produce/make a mask.

Students study the parts of a cell.  In this chemistry lesson students complete an activity in which they make as much slime as they want. 

Students create paper objects called origami. They practice shaping different types and colors of paper into objects while practicing patience and concentration.

Pupils explore various methods for visualizing the results of hydrogen wave function. They observe trends using a polar plot tool and make plots for the first three energy levels of the radial wave function for hydrogen. Students apply...

Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon lesson, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

Third graders discuss how shapes look differently close up and far away. As a class, they examine how artists make three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional painting. They create their own three-dimensional drawing to end the lesson.

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...
