Students create digital mosaics. In this visual arts lesson, students discover the attributes and history of mosaics in a teacher-led discussion. Students use an educational program to make their own digital mosaics.

Students discuss current knowledge of pixels. They listen as the teacher explains their importance in picture clarity. Students view the "Pixel Mosaic Animated Movie." Students receive pieces of pictures and matching tiles which...

Young scholars use non-standard measurement tools such as body parts, beans and counters to find the area of shapes drawn on the floor. They continue to determine the area of other objects in the classroom.

Fourth graders solve a series of parallel problems. They use statistics, geometrical, and numerical aspects to solve the problem. Students create a pattern that answers the problem.

Students examine and study how changes in perspective can change the way that they can observe objects. They explore the relationship between a scene's area and its detail. Each student looks at the ground through cardboard tubes from...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan examines the mathematical nature of art, tilings and tessellations. Students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and our...

A geometry lesson where learners read about tilings and tessellations, answer some questions, then explore them using an online interactive. Afterwards, they share and apply their learning in discussion and by examining other tilings.

This lesson plan deals with tessellations and their geometric concepts. Upper elementary and middle school students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and culture.

If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan explores tessellations and their geometric properties. Plenty of interactive support is available for students. Lots of resources for teachers to use.
