Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon lesson, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

Pupils listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students work together to make figures out of tangram squares. In groups, they calculate the measurements they need and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete a worksheet solving equations using the theorem and review their answers.

Third graders read the story STREGA NONA together as a class and discuss what they know about pasta. They each receive pieces of pasta to glue down on construction paper and write beneath each one what they think it looks like.

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

In this art worksheet, students read a 1 page article on the history or art, prepare their background to making a collage, gather basic shapes, create their collage and then add in the finishing touches to them.

Pupils define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry activity, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

Pupils calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Fourth graders apply knowledge of the elements of design and hand building techniques in clay to illustrate the concept of negative space by cutting shapes out of the form to create an intricate pattern.

Young scholars analyze Greek vase painting and create their own vase art. In this vase painting lesson, students analyze the design element shape and the relationship between figure and ground. Young scholars design a figure/ground...

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Young scholars are introduced to the topic of area. In groups, they share various techniques to help them identify different shapes and work together to calculate the area. They use this same knowledge to determine the area of animal...

Students define trapezoids and their shapes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of a trapezoid and a parallelogram. They use Cabri software to make investigations.

Learners perform a review assignment in 3 portions to review chemistry compounds, formulas, and equations. The assignment consists of several different portions that can be used as assessments. The majority of the lesson plan is composed...

Learners create a creature using Amaco cloud clay. In this sculpting lesson, students use clay, toothpicks, and clay modeling tools to create a unique clay creature. Learners shape the clay into a four-legged animal.

Young scholars examine the effects different substances have on proteins. They test different molecules reaction to water. They discover how the amount of water affects the shape of the protein.

Second graders explore triangles and quadrilaterals. They rotate to various centers in the room to identify and examine triangles and quadrilaterals. After presenting a picture to the class, 2nd graders locate right angles, triangles...
