Students create two block quilts after studying about continuity of lines, use of coloring, and highlighting adjacent pieces. Students complete the design into the border. Students cut the required material pieces to create their quilt...

Learners choose furnishings and accessories based on color, line, pattern, texture, shape, and mood. They discuss how interiors are affected by furniture arrangements and traffic patterns and examine furniture and make a grouping of...

Pupils examine the concept of symmetry by studying the symmetry of symbols in a wall painting and creating journals with a symmetrical design. After a class review of symmetry and identifying the line of symmetry in several objects in...

Students create a self-portrait that is compiled by using individual student drawings. The drawings emphasize line, shape, color and possibly texture depending upon the student's selection of materials.

Students view clips of Anna Deavere Smith's work. They interview people on video or audiotape to learn their lines, dialect, and syntax to assist them in theater. They create a play which emulates the people in which they interviewed.

First graders explore facial expressions in a mirror and create drawings of people with a facial expression of their choice. They graph the facial expressions drawn.

In this dental health worksheet, students see black line pictures of items that are used in the dental office. They can color a bib, a dental mirror, a dental car, mask, gloves, and an air syringe.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of the coordinate plane with this series of skills practice worksheets. Offering 10 different exercises that involve identifying ordered pairs,...

In this transformations worksheet, students observe the errors in the reflection of a picture.  They determine the number of transformations needed to complete a grid.  Students perform reflections according to directions and...

In this math worksheet, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This worksheet has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify different transformations based on the x and y axis reflections. They use vectors to do their translations. There are 28 questions.

Help your class discover the commutative property of addition with this exploration of the addition table. By folding and coloring the table, a symmetry is found that directs students to an understanding of this crucial mathematical...

This is a printout of the slides for a presentation on fiber optics. In bullet-style notes, it covers how optic fibers work, their structure, different types, and their use. You may use these as a lecture guide, or if you want to take...

By overlapping combs and window screening and by looking at a printed set of consecutively larger circles, learners observe Moire patterns, which provide a visual of what happens during wave interference. 

These abstract shapes are pointing in different directions and young scholars determine which ones are oriented the same way. For each of five starting shapes they examine a set of four identical figures pointing in various directions,...

Which of these shapes is pointing the same way? Pre-readers examine five rows of familiar objects. The first item points to the right for each, and they must determine which of the subsequent items in each row points the same direction....

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

I, myself, like a straightforward grammar exercise, and here is one about reflexive pronouns! Learners identify the reflexive pronoun in each of 20 sentences and indicate the subject that the pronoun refers to.

Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically. 

Learners examine Lao art techniques and practice replication and modification of Lao designs. Maintaining a symmetrical image, they embellish designs with imagery and background color. They discuss the students' works and note the...

Here is a stellar slide show for illuminating middle schoolers' minds on the topic of light! An interactive slide allows viewers to sort light sources by whether or not they are man-made. More objects are displayed and learners discover...

Does practice make perfect or just improvement? Scholars practice drawing a triangle on an Etch-A-Sketch. They learn about the part of the brain that controls sensory-motor integration and apply that to an analysis question.
