Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram pieces.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. For this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their...

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson plan, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson plan, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

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...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Learners construct a set of tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read the book, Grandfather Tang's Story and retell the story using tangrams. Learners construct their own set of tangrams using the included worksheets.

Students create puzzles of animals based on the 12-animals cycle of the Lunar Calendar. They use logical or spatial relationship skills. Students comprehend the mathematical term geometry. They research the history, beliefs of the...

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

Students construct the tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions to fold and cut. They make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other. They explore patterns and shapes with the...

Students explore language arts by participating in a shape identification activity. In this geometry shape lesson, students discuss the vocabulary terms used to describe the location of an object. Students complete a worksheet based upon...

Students follow written directions to construct their own tangram. In this tangram lesson, students use their tangram to develop original figures that illustrate characters and/or objects from their favorite nursery rhyme. Students also...

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 create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Learners study techniques used for solving integrals. Using tangrams and hands-on activities, students perform basic integration techniques. They use artistic skills and real-world applications to discover more complex methods of...

Students explore one to one number correspondence. In this early math lesson, students make observations about and classify plants in order to gain an understanding of using numbers to describe their world.
