Fifth graders create a radially balanced design using geometric shapes which exhibits their prior knowledge of symmetry. They use a kaleidoscope image to develop a design using markers or colored pencils.

Pupils examine the artwork of Pablo Picasso and describe geometric shapes they observe. After observing geometric pictures and other objects, students create replicas of them using geometric shapes. Using a watercolor wash, pupils unify...

Students create images from simple shapes.

Students identify 3-dimensional geometric shapes and list the characteristics of each. Using modeling clay, they create their own models of specified geometric shapes. Students create and design a box to store their geometric models.

Learners recognize basic geometric shapes. They research the positions of planets in our solar system and find information on early theories about the location of planets and the sun. Students visualize planets as they might appear in an...

Pupils create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

Students complete a building activity using their knowledge of geometrical shapes, tools, and how to follow a plan from previous lessons in this unit. In this following directions lesson, students study the basic building process as it...

Students cut or tear a variety of geometric paper shapes and follow directions to decorate them. They define and create a pleasing collage. Afterward, they identify the names of shapes used in their collages

Students walk around their neighborhood and school to find objects that remind them of a math concept or vocabulary term. In this real world math lesson, students find math concepts in various familiar locations and take pictures of...

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

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Pupils examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.

Students follow multiple-step oral directions and review geometric shapes.

Students engage in a lesson about polygons while creating a mosaic pattern. They concentrate upon creating a pattern that is geometric and has the look of a quilt design. The lesson includes steps to complete the project and helpful hints.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.

Students take digital pictures of themselves before using a stylus pen on to trace their facial features on a graphic pad. Using an Internet gallery of body drawings they complete a caricature of themselves. In two other activities, they...

# Students study dramatic seasonal changes in temperate climates through research and viewing art. They measure, create, recognize, and work with common geometric shapes. They use art elements of color, shape, texture, and line to...

Students research the historical background of Valentine's Day. They identify symbols and examine how this occasion is celebrated today. They create imaginative creatures made out of chenille sticks and paper hearts or other geometric...

Students create replicas of mola art , a fabric applique process of the Kuna Indians. After discovering Mola designs include the natural world, dreams, geometric shapes, imaginary monsters, and contemporary images, they design their...
