Students examine geometric quilt patterns to identify how math may have been used to help slaves escape to freedom. They slide, flip and turn geometric shapes to create a map quilt.

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...

Students work on color planning and painting skills and reinforce principles of design. They alter a work of art to create a low relief assemblage.

Students create flowery napkin rings, paint umbrellas, paint flowers, and create "butter-flowers" in this four-day activity all about Springtime. The activities in this activity could be accomplished over four days, used separately, or...

Test your pupils' skills with indoor decorating while finding out how well they understand prepositions of place. After practicing living room vocabulary, pairs furnish a room by drawing in items. They then present their room to the...

Students listen to the book "Zigzag" by Robert D. San Souci, and examine the concepts of friendship, respect, and determination. They answer story comprehension questions, then create a fabric doll using the shapes from the book.

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.

In this shape recognition worksheet, 1st graders trace the shapes of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle. Students then draw a line to match the shapes.

In this lower elementary geometry worksheet, students make a shape book. They receive a book with the outline of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle with the word that names the shape. They cut out images of the four shapes and...

In this composite figures worksheet, students solve 11 short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons. Students find the area of each figure given a sketch of the figure with various measurements...

Children solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various items measured (wooden blocks and boxes). This is a particularly good instructional activity to use when introducing how to use a ruler and how to add...

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

In this finding the area worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which the area of a square or rectangle is calculated. The instructions and examples provides hints and formulas.

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students find the shapes that are asked of them out of a bunch of shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students find a specific number of a specific shape with a specific size and color.

Students simplify equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide as they solve expressions. They relate factoring to solving polynomials.

In this learning shapes worksheet, students match given shapes to their proper name. In addition, students count the number of shapes identified in a model. Shapes include a rhombus, square, circle, hexagon, trapezoid, rectangle,...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

In this mathematical instructional activity, students read each word, decide which image refers back to each word and then colors in the correct image for each word.

Students factor binomials and apply it. In this algebra lesson, students use patterns to factor difference of squares and FOIL to factor other binomials. They apply the concept of binomials to vertical multiplication.

Students discover art that contains composite imagery and visual puns. They create their own picture of composite imagery and explain the visual pun. Students develop skills using the drawing media.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.
