Students use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...

Gain some perspective on linear pairs. Aspiring mathematicians adjust the vanishing point on a perspective drawing. They see the effect on linear pairs of angles and answer five challenge questions based on their observations.

Students investigate the customs and habits of other cultures by reading letters from a Peace Corps Volunteer.  In this global customs instructional activity, students discuss how analyzing a culture is similar to analyzing art, no...

High schoolers synthesize their knowledge of perspective/point of view with written and visual experiences to produce pieces of art and writing. They discover how one's perspective influence thoughts, decisions, and actions.

Young scholars examine a simple set up to measure the change in the apparent size of an object as it moves away from them.

The class gets to practice being a mathematician in ancient Greece, performing geometric application problems in the way of Eratosthenes. After following the steps of the great mathematicians, they then compare the (surprisingly...

Eighth graders visit two websites about France in order to take a virtual trip of France. They answer specific questions about France and state the similarities and differences between France and the U.S.

Students study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different illusions can...

In this lesson, students use line segments, angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines in order to create a one point perspective drawing.

A fascinating interactive site showing how to use lines in on-point perspective drawings.
