Students learn the four orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. They create their own 3d structure and work together in groups. They create basic geometric shapes. # Have fun learning about art history,...

First graders practice manipulating shapes into different locations. They see that even though shapes may look different when they are moved into different locations, the shape remains the same with the same properties. They make...

Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.

Students learn the four orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite and create their own 3D structures in this Art/Art History lesson for fourth through sixth grade. The lesson includes a book resource list for lesson...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which object in an illustration has a flat side the same shape as the box shown. Then they look at other shapes and identify the ones with a flat side, if any.

Students collect as much information as possible about their egg and record the information in a systematic way. They prepare a description of the egg your team was given that enable you to distinguish your egg from everyone else's egg.

Young scholars create "Mosaic Hearts" in this adaptable art lesson using some old magazines, construction paper, and glue. The lesson includes examples of finished hearts and a materials list. Ideal for a Valentine's Day activity!

Third graders compare and contrast the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Using a tetrominoes game, they create two-dimensional shapes to cover up a game board. At the conclusion of the game, 3rd graders discuss the patterns they...

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Students investigate the concept of line symmetry and how to recognize it in different contexts. They record the number of symmetries when given problems to work on in class. They review the concept of congruence and how it relates to...

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

Fifth graders, with a partner, create tessellation patterns by playing 10 by 10 Tessellations. They need to use critical thinking skills to decide if pattern block plane figures tessellate and how each block best fits into the pattern.

Students investigate mining and economics. In this mining lesson, students play a game in which they purchase property, mine the property, and pay for reclamation.  Students earn money for each ore mined. 

Students investigate the various techniques that studenT book illustrators utilize such as paper collage, die-cut pages, and object stencils for relief printing.

Young scholars observe models of the ABO blood system including erythrocytes, antigens, and antibodies. They investigate the antigens that result from certain allele combinations and move antibodies to determine whether agglutination ...

Students prepare for the Chinese New Year and celebrate. They assist in planning and preparing for the celebration. Students work together cooperatively in small and large groups. They discuss the symbol "fu", good luck, when hung upside...

In this identifying solid figures worksheet, students name each solid figure, write the number of faces, vertices, and edges, and solve a word problem. Students solve seven problems.

High schoolers explore how Newton tied together the gravity observed on Earth and the motion of the Moon. They apply an earlier lesson about centripetal forces.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

Students use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance music can...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Students create wax crayon "eggs" using wax paper, crayon shavings, and an egg template shape in this early-elementary Art lesson. Included with the lesson is an idea for diplaying finished art projects. A great lesson for Easter time.

Students analyze lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in designs. They practice dividing a shape along its line(s) of symmetry and discuss the relationship between lines of symmetry and number of sides as well as rotations.

In this counting worksheet, learners count the number of pictures in each problem. Students count the number of pictures for 4 problems.
