Students create masks from the Italian Renaisance theatre and use them in one-act plays they write. they analyze the role and development of theatre in world cultures.

Why are only four colors needed to color webs from regular pentagons, not five? An assessment task requires young mathematicians to first construct regular pentagons using a compass and straightedge, then has them consider a shape...

How do you create a technical drawing? Cover the basics of technical sketching with a few practice sketches of simple shapes. A technical sketching lesson introduces the proper precision measurement techniques. Pupils progress...

Math scholars study conics and how they are used today. For this mathematical lesson, pupils construct and slice cones after viewing a demonstration. 

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Learners identify three-dimensional forms in various buildings and construct three-dimensional paper forms.

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.

Fifth graders view original artwork, define the art form sculpture, discuss similarities and differences between the examples provided, discuss the three-dimensional quality of each example given, and create and critique their own artwork.

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Fifth graders create a collage vase with tissue paper. Using the vase, they cover the material with tissue overlapping with other pieces. They use Mod Podge to get the wrinkled look of the tissue paper and make three dimensional...

Students study dinosaurs in science and conduct online research to gather written information about his or her dinosaur. Then, in art class, they sketch their dinosaur and create an accurate three-dimensional dinosaur model out of paper...

Students explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.

In this geometry and art worksheet, 3rd graders trace and cut out a cubic net to fold and glue together to learn about the dynamics of three-dimensional figures and shapes.

Seventh graders investigate the concepts related to the geometry of treehouses that focuses on angles that are similar and congruent. They conduct class discussion in terms of looking at three dimensional shapes that are represented in...

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.

In this nets of figures learning exercise, students determine which given shapes will make a shown net, then name the shapes uses. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Fourth graders use math software and geoboard paper to design basic shapes. They write individual definitions for the geometric shapes based on what they see in the shapes. They apply their background knowledge of the shape as they write...

In this learning tool learning exercise, 3rd graders cut and paste a template to create a cylinder. Students could color or decorate the cylinder.

Sixth graders compute the surface area. For this surface area lesson students are given a set of problems to calculate. They compute the surface area of cubes and rectangular boxes.

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...
