Second graders explore the features of triangles and quadrilaterals. In this lesson on triangles and quadrilaterals, 2nd graders rotate with their group to five different activities all exploring a different aspect of geometry.

Students in a teacher education program enhance their awareness of patterns. They discover how to support their students in developing this skill in mathematical terms. They role play the role of a K-2 student and collect images from...

Students explain what is near and far in respect to the horizon line on a 2-d surface. They blend and use oil pastels correctly and explain the concept of a horizon line.

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Support third graders with tackling the Common Core Math Standards using this list of vocabulary words. Accompanied by a series of word cards that demonstrate the meaning of each term with examples and images, this resource is great tool...

Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...

Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Third graders read the story STREGA NONA together as a class and discuss what they know about pasta. They each receive pieces of pasta to glue down on construction paper and write beneath each one what they think it looks like.

Students calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and calculate...

Learners create 3-dimensional works in clay. In this sculpture lesson, students discuss a theme and create a sculpture based on that theme. Learners express personal ideas and feelings through the arts.

Learners examine how driving a hybrid car can save money and cut down on pollution.  In this hybrid vehicles lesson students complete an exercise that shows them how to work with proportions, percents, dimensional analysis and...

Students identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.

Fourth graders use clay to create a slab vase with a surface design that emphasizes the elements shape and texture. They complete a self-evaluation of their project which is imbedded in this plan.

In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.

Students explore three topics of elements of art in this seven lessons unit. An overview of light, space, figure, ground, pattern, balance and symmetry are presented in this unit.

Fourth graders create artwork using the pure elements of line, shape, and color as the subject matter. The artwork is then cut or torn into organic shapes which are then glued onto a background paper, leaving areas of paper showing in...

Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.

Help your learners examine triangles. Pupils explore the different sizes and measurements of triangles. They discover triangles can be isosceles or scalene, and examine the attributes of triangles. Here is the website where you can...

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....
