Students learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use of...

Fifth graders draw 2-D and 3-D shapes. They sketch and label geometric figures with correct terminology, then explore parallel and perpendicular lines. Pupils sort and classify shapes drawn.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape identification activity. In this figure dimensions lesson, students identify the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional shapes by their vertices and faces. Students examine blocks in...

Young scholars identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Young scholars are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

In this solid figures worksheet, learners read the word problems about the solid figures and find the figure that follows the rule.

Young scholars compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another instructional activity, students use data from the diagram...

Students evaluate visual arts by creating furniture designs. In this three dimensional art lesson, students utilize the web to examine different artist renderings of furniture, sculpture and architecture. Students utilize paint to create...

Young artists create a freestanding 3-dimensional sculpture using wire and modeled "clay" pieces. This immensely creative and engaging lesson should get your kids excited, because the medium is unusual to work with. Everything you need...

Students listen carefully and put pieces together following the teacher's instructions. They point to the different shapes and sizes as they are being called out and count the number of items they have in front of them. They decorate...

Students create masks from the Italian Renaisance theatre and use them in one-act plays they write. they analyze the role and development of theatre in world cultures.

Students use pieces of farm pictures to investigate the elements of art.  In this farm art lesson, students use pieces of pictures to create an original artwork. Students use the Internet to find images.  Students create a...

Third graders use Google Earth to examine Roman architecture. For this ancient Rome lesson, 3rd graders visit the noted URLs to look at examples of Roman architecture. Students work in teams to examine data about the structures.
