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

Young scholars 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 instructional activity, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Young scholars analyze 2 and 3...

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

For 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.

Pupils explore the relationship of angles as it relates to 2 and 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 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. In 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 students 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 instructional activity, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri...

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

In this rotations worksheet, students complete problems having to do with shapes and their rotations, reflections, symmetry, translations, and more. Students complete 6 problems.

Students identify different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students name polygons using the number of sides. They calculate distance and slopes using the correct formula.

Learners have fun with math. In this math skills lesson, students collaborate to solve the problems presented in this interactive lesson. The problems pertain to geometry, measurement, probability, number sense, and algebra.

In this transformations/translation worksheet, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.
