Extend scholars' learning experience with a unit consisting of five shape lesson plans, an extension activity, assessment, and rubric. Begin by reading a story about shapes, then conduct an overview and assign pupils' their first...

In this geometry worksheet, students examine 2 geometric figure drawn on a grid and then draw congruent figures. Next, students answer 1 fill in the blank question where they look at a figure and determine which sections are congruent. ...

Young scholars change the scale of a work of art using ratios, percentages, and proportions. While this is technically an art lesson, there is quite a bit of mathematics involved in converting to the correct scale.

Third graders incorporate math into dancing. In this algebra lesson plan, 3rd graders identify different shapes and patterns using dance movements. They relate the different creations to polygons as they incorporate the use of stretchy...

It's time to get crafty with shapes! Your future farmers demonstrate their geometric ability by building a farm using triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares. But first, scholars take part in a brainstorm session inspired by their...

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...

Young scholars discover the focal point in pictures and create their own images using lines and space.  In this art analysis instructional activity, students create a black dot on a white paper which becomes a focal point for the...

Students explore geometry in Navajo rugs. In this shape art lesson, students create a Navajo rug design using triangles and squares. Students investigate designs on the Internet and then create an original design.

Young scholars use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...

First graders find angles in their classroom. In this geometric figures lesson, 1st graders identify, describe and classify angles they see in their world. Students create pictures that contain angles and display them in the room.

Learners study parallel and perpendicular lines. In this parallel and perpendicular instructional activity, pupils explore 2-D shapes and determine if the sides are parallel or perpendicular.

Ease children's back-to-school jitters with this primary grade lesson based on the book The Kissing Hand by Ruth E. Harper. Starting off with a singing of the song "I Wish I Had a Little Red Box", children go on to discuss and...

Navajo art incorporates many fascinating shapes and designs. In this shapes lesson, students explore how shapes may be combined to create art and architecture. They also discover shapes in the world around them.

Help young scientists connect with nature and learn about trees with a fun life science lesson. Heading out into the school yard, children choose a tree to adopt, taking measurements, writing descriptions, and drawing sketches of it in...

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research, art, and...

In this thinking skills worksheet, students draw a line connecting each blue figure without touching any other color. Students connect 4 figures.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In 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 partner...

Students design their own logo or picture and use a handheld GPS receiver to map it out. They write out a word or graphic on a field or playground, walk the path, and log GPS data. The results display their "art" on their GPS receiver...

Third graders investigate congruent polygons through dance. In this congruency instructional activity, 3rd graders do the "brain dance" as a warm up. They review polygon names by singing "The Polygon Chant," before mirroring congruent...

Students create an abstract work of art that is made by repeating geometric shapes and lines, write concise instructions to reproduce the work of art and reproduce someone else's artwork via written instructions.

Fifth graders draw 2-D and 3-D shapes. They sketch and label geometric figures with correct terminology, then explore parallel and perpendicular lines. Pupils sort and classify shapes drawn.

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