First graders look for geometrical shapes in nature to help them appreciate the diversity of the natural environment.

Students explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Students use Julia set and Mandelbrot set...

Middle schoolers complete activities to learn about the shapes and their vertices. In this shape recognition lesson, students discover the rule linking the number of sides with the number of vertices for shapes. Middle schoolers...

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry activity, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

Students brainstorm pizza toppings and determine the number of possible ways to order a pizza. In this algebra activity, students analyze and investigate geometric patterns as they relate to the concept of a variable. Students then...

Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

First graders investigate the function of pattern as it applies to music, dance and visual art, and participate in activities that demonstrate the patterns found in each art form. They then focus on identifying musicians by the "tools"...

Learners arecognize the architecture of another culture, how the architecture of a people records their history, explore artistic elements, explore and use geometric concepts of shape, pattern, and symmetry.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Third graders identify the rhythms and movements found in different works of art. In this visual arts activity, 3rd graders view samples of art work and use hand gestures to demonstrate the movement of the image. Students pick one art...

Pupils define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Third graders demonstrate their mathematical knowledge of symmetry and reflection using congruent geometric shapes while working as an artist and mathematician looking at a medieval-styled stained glass window.

Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.

Young scholars calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered...

Students will explore the life cycle of the Painted Lady butterfly by raising their own. They will incorporate math, science, and language arts as they graph, pattern, journal, observe, and artistically create.

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Third graders investigate numerical and geometric patterns and express them in words or numbers.  In this algebraic reasoning lesson, 3rd graders analyze the structure of the pattern and how it changes or grows, organize information...

Students identify different parts of a prism and polyhedra. In this geometry lesson, students identify the number of faces, edges and sides of polygons. They solve problems by recognizing patterns.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students analyze floral and geometric design. In this art design lesson, students create a circular design art using floral, geometric, or anatomical designs. Students critique their designs as a group and read the background information...

Students learn the vocabulary of contemporary sculpture and distinguish between abstract and realistic sculpture, mobile and stabile, biomorphic and geometric. They write equations using Calder's mobiles

Learners create geometric shapes with a jump rope. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students review the different shapes while getting some physical activity.
