Students design and produce snowmen.  In this winter lesson, students use CD's to create 3 dimensional snowmen.  Students discuss the senses of sight and touch as well as compare their craft snowmen to a real snowman.

Learners identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math lesson, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Young scholars explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Young scholars analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and...

Fourth graders examine faces, edges, and vertices. In this geometry instructional activity, 4th graders participate in classroom activities that require them to compare geometric shapes, figures, and models.

In this art worksheet, students read a 1 page article on the history or art, prepare their background to making a collage, gather basic shapes, create their collage and then add in the finishing touches to them.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Young scholars define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between acute, obtuse, right, alternate interior, exterior and adjacent angles. They manipulate a math...

Fourth graders apply knowledge of the elements of design and hand building techniques in clay to illustrate the concept of negative space by cutting shapes out of the form to create an intricate pattern.

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. For this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

The young scholars are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...

First graders learn how use a ruler to measure common items. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders examine the numerical markings on rulers and learn that each number stands for a unit of measure. They measure 5 classroom items after...
