Upper elementary and middle schoolers recognize symbols that influence the choices that we make consciously or unconsciously in everyday life. They look at the symbols and choices that others make. They identify and apply knowledge of...

Pupils examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Bingo! Find five in a row with a set of fun and creative bingo graphic organizers. The sheets feature shapes such as leaves, monkeys, dinosaurs, fire trucks, as well as symbols for Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day.

Spruce up graphing practice with an activity that has young mathematicians plot points on a coordinate plane, and then connect the points to create a Christmas tree.

Sixth graders investigate how colors, objects and geometric shapes have been used symbolically in art during specific time periods. They use this information to create symbolic artwork and write a descriptive/informational piece...

Students find symbols and patterns in everyday life. In this patterns lesson, students break into groups and look for specific patterns and symbols. Students record their findings. Students create a graphic organizer with the information.

Kids gain a deeper understanding of mathematical symbols, by playing an interactive game using flash cards. They complete an attached Missing Symbols Worksheet, flash card and an assessment are also included.

Plastic math? Have young learners count and name the number of plastic items in their centers. Kindergartners match sight word cards to the number of plastics in a given group, while learning that plastics come in all different shapes,...

Third graders investigate world currency by creating their own coin art.  For this government lesson, 3rd graders examine the characteristics of different coins and create their own design for a new one.  Students discuss and...

Color is the focus of this amazing resource packed with math, social studies, science, and language arts activities. Kids create a color word wall and post symbols, graph the number of objects they find of each color while on a...

In this symmetry learning exercise, learners read about art in Southern Africa, daw art of their own, and draw lines of symmetry through the art. Students draw 3 lines of symmetry.

Eighth graders, after researching the properties of graphs of conic sections, absolute value and inverse relations, make a drawing of precise functions and relations from a specified list of equations. The final design should analyze the...

Tracing paper is not just for art anymore — pupils can use it to find reflected images, too! Two videos show how to reflect images using tracing paper and find the reflection between the pre-image and image. Learners perform reflections...

Young scholars analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Young scholars set up experiments to...

Students investigate art elements such as color schemes and proportion by creating their own personal Mandala Circle on paper or canvas. This also allows students to investigate mathematical concepts such as tesselations or social...

First graders complete activities related to they story they are reading in class. Through art and measurement activities, 1st graders relate a story from the "Tacky the Penguin Series" to everyday objects and ideas they encounter.

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. For this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students examine Arizona counties and use the themes of location and movement to develop an Arizona map.
