Students explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Tenth graders explore the exterior and interior angles of triangles. They use a theorem in order to prove a theorem about all polygons. Students use the theorem and its applications to find the angles of different types of triangles.

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson plan, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Learners gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Tenth graders identify angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. Using meter sticks and bolts, they perform hands-on activities to demonstrate the properties of parallel lines and congruent angles. They color code diagrams to...

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Ninth graders participate in a lesson focused on the concept of basic statistics. They find the mean, median, and mode of different data sets. More advanced students could practice creating a bell curve from the data.
