In this lesson, students will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

Using straws and soap, you can create geometric shapes to make a colorful art display when light shines through them.

Definition of shape as it applies to the visual arts with examples by Duchamp and McKnight. Links to definitions of other elements of art.

Use this rhyming description of Max's Fantastical Zoo to make some amazing animals from geometric shapes. There is a teacher's guide for easy lesson planning.

Explore the literature connections, online activity, pencil and paper activity, and the manipulative investigation of patterns and geometric shapes on this page!

Build a molecule in 3-D. Add single, double, and triple bonds, or a lone pair of electrons to an atom, learn what the molecule's geometric name is, see the bond angles, and manipulate each molecule to view it from all sides. Then study a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and try practice problems on identifying and continuing geometric patterns.

This tool allows you to manipulate various geometric solids and investigate their properties.

Learners will be introduced to one of the basic elements of art shape by analyzing the types of shapes used in various works of art to differentiate between geometric and natural shapes. They will then create their own cut paper collage...

An interactive site that explores the elements and principles of visual art through the artist's toolkit. This lesson is on geometric and organic shape using Senufo's "Granary Door." The animation shows the formation of the various...

Online activities are given to explore space and shape in geometry.

Find a classroom-ready annotated slideshow and lesson plans designed to introduce students to fundamental architectural concepts and to improve their skills in recognizing the structural components of architecture. Slideshow uses...

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

In this lesson, young scholars will create a class quilt of nine patch paper quilt blocks using geometry.

Find out how quilting and math go hand in hand when you visit this comprehensive resource. This resource provides a lesson plan for integrating geometry concepts with quilt making.

The instructional tool explores various geometric solids and their properties. Student can manipulate and color the different shapes. Learners examine the edges, faces, and vertices of the different solid figures.

The students will make the connection between 2-D and 3-D shapes using modeling clay and geometric solids and participate in an interactive web lesson plan. Students will make predictions about what 2-D shape they think will be made when...

In this video segment from Cyberchase, two friends make rock candy while learning about 2-D and 3-D shapes.

How can you describe the pattern made by a growing triangular shape? This interactive exercise focuses on using what you know about pattern recognition and completing a table so you have data you can use to graph the coordinates on a...

Young scholars will identify objects as translucent, transparent, or opaque. Upon seeing the shadow of the opaque object, students will identify the geometric figure created by the shadow.This lesson plan was created as a result of the...

Look at the properties of 2D shapes to see which shapes can belong to the same group. Includes hints.

Based on building a hexagon, this activity from the Math Forum collection focuses on using different combinations of pattern blocks to create a hexagon. An online activity, pencil and paper method, literature connections, and a...

An applet is used to explore the rotation symmetry of geometric shapes. [Requires Java.]
