In this tessellation worksheet, students draw tessellations using specified figures. This one page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

No matter what time of year it is, there's a holiday craft to make! Kindergartners construct several holiday craft projects in a series of holiday art lesson. They complete several paper projects such as 4th of July flags,...

Students discover how sense of touch helps us explore our world by feeling it and learning the size, texture and shape of things.

Students utilize the facts presented in the story, " If You Meet a Dragon," by Joy Cowley to make a dinosaur following the features of a template, track the text of the story, and dramatize its main idea.

Learners create blind contour drawings. They compare methods of drawing including blind contour and contour approaches. Students follow a blind contour method to produce a drawing of a flower and then complete the piece with a watercolor...

Students demonstrate their comprehension of shapes and their properties. They work in small groups. Students review the following terms: property, polygon, quadrilateral, and parallelogram. They read Shape Up! Fun With Triangles and...

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

Students demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of triangles and...

Students investigate the Underground Railroad. In this African-American history lesson plan, students listen to the book Clara and the Freedom Quilt and use map skills to identify the various locations in the book. Students create a...

Students map magnetic fields of a magnet using a compass and predict where fields cancel each other to create 'Bermuda Triangles'. For this magnetism lesson, students use a compass to map the magnetic field of a magnet. They explain how...

Students identify shapes. For this geometry lesson, students cut out various shapes and create a "Shape Collage Pizza." Students glue their shapes onto a pizza template.

Students practice counting sets of items by 10's.  In this counting lesson, students create flash cards that show a zero while hiding the first number in order for students to practice counting by 10's.  Students practice...

  Learners observe a leaf and discuss the way that water is released from a leaf through its stomata.  For this water cycle lesson, students calculate how much water leaves produce from a whole tree.     

Students investigate the linear characteristics of cultural art.  In this art analysis lesson, students discover the Pre-Columbian Chimu culture and the many masks they created.  Students identify the different shapes and lines...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Students simulate crater formation through a lab activity. In this space science lesson, students calculate how much energy is transferred during meteorite impact. They identify different factors affecting the size and depth of craters...

Students use tangrams to represent parts of a whole. For this fraction lesson, students use tangrams to determine fractional relationships between different pieces. Students use the AppleWorks drawing application to demonstrate the...

Seventh graders create a design using a detailed drawing reversing positive and negative space. They explain organic shape and geometric shape.

Students practice agility moves timing various locomotor skills (slide shuffle, sprinting, backwards jogging, fast walking), over a star pattern in pairs.

Students explore the art of Piet Mondrian. In this abstract art lesson, students look at paintings by the Dutch painter and then follow the provided steps to create their own abstract art inspired by his works.

Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Pupils apply an applique after learning about the process. Students accurately baste the appliques to the background fabric and hold them securely during the needle turn process.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students calculate the amount of water transpired by a single leaf and estimate that transpired by an entire rainforest.
