Students use geometric shapes to describe body parts. In this geometry lesson, students use geometry vocabulary as they discuss body parts. They practice drawing bodies using shapes based on a wooden model that is poised to show specific...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Kindergartners identify geometric shapes by planting a fall garden. They start their seeds in containers that have different shapes, and keep track of their plants based on those shapes. This brilliantly designed and incredibly thorough...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes. This...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Learners create tessellation drawings using repeating geometric shapes.

Learners 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.

High schoolers study geometric figures. They use graph paper or Geometer's Sketchpad to construct and decorate geometric shapes, and also create a 3-D polygon using construction paper and a given template.

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

Students investigate shapes in art. In this visual arts lesson plan, students examine the ancient Panamanian "Plaque" and identify the geometric shapes in the art piece. Students combine basic shapes to make an artistic picture of their...

Students play the "space-breaker" game, in which they are required to create a picture using shapes or lines called out to them) to reinforce the concept of geometric shape and line.

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. For this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

Students create posters about geometric shapes in order to demonstrate their understanding of the different shapes. Students look for pictures in magazines to represent two-dimensional shapes, paste them on a poster, label the shape,...

Take young scholars on a trip through history with this unit on the mathematics and architecture of the Mayan civilization. Starting with a introduction to their base twenty number system and the symbols they used, this eight-lesson unit...

Young scholars visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by...

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.

First graders listen to Shapes and The Greedy Triangle to identify and describe examples of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, look for geometric shapes in real world places.  Students make a mobile of shapes...

Students recognize the features of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. Students create solid figures with marshmallows and toothpicks.  Students create...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this activity to create 3...
