Students describe, represent and analyze patterns and relationships using shapes. They create simple geometric patterns. They demonstrate increasing technical ability and skill to complete visual arts assignments.

You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Add imagination and creativity to your math lesson. Young mathematicians investigate ways to express their names in mathematical terms. For instance, they can count the number of letters, analyze the geometric shapes of the letters, or...

Fourth graders draw pictures and diagrams as they attempt to solve a mathematical problem involving the arrangement of eleven tables shaped like equilateral triangles and the seating of exactly twenty-five people.

First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the lesson...

Students participate in a mini field trip around the neighborhood to observe nature and changes that are occurring during fall. They collect leaves of various colors, shapes and sizes on their trip. Upon return to the classroom, they...

Middle schoolers find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area,...

Eighth graders compare the volume of three cylinders constructed from the same size sheet of paper. They use concrete and graphical models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, and volume of two and three...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students review the steps to find perimeter and area. Kids then use grid paper to draw the figures described in 6 questions. Students note the perimeter and area of shapes as well.

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

After introducing the concept and formula for finding the area of a square, try this lesson plan. Fifth graders will use their prior knowledge to break apart various shapes in order to determine area. This lesson plan includes several...

Fractions should be visual for beginners; give scholars a few different approaches through these five problems. First, they examine two shapes with shaded sections, writing a fraction to represent the shaded portion. Next, mathematicians...

Alternate between area and perimeter with this worksheet, practicing both concepts with different shapes. Problems include examples with parallelograms, octagons, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. The formulas are not provided,...

There are many different polygons, so give your learners a worksheet that practices area and perimeter on the various shapes. This full-page worksheet includes problems with hexagons, trapezoids, squares, parallelograms, and rectangles....

Students brainstorm different kinds of shapes. They then draw them on the paper and write the name of the shape on the back and then assemble the shapes to make a "monster". Students make up a survey about the monster including its name...

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Pupils view a video about bridges. They create their own bridge out of paper and share it with the class. They create an advertisement for a bridge shown in the film.

In this math testing practice worksheet, students practice problem solving and calculating the answers to a variety of thirty mathematical word equations.

Students begin the lesson by identifying what a polygon is and hypothesizing how many struts (diagonals) it would take to make a polygon rigid. They watch a "Magic School Bus" episode then experiment with various shapes to make a...

In this math worksheet, students discover patterns in geometric shapes by completing 4 patterns. Students study and consider the pattern shown and continue it on the lines provided.

Students become immersed in analyzing the influences on and development of an artistic paradigm; they also move into, through and beyond the literary piece.

Learners use the element of line to create a composition, then apply a printmaking technique to create a composition.

Learners explore and discuss the link between values and science. They read several articles on such topics as global warming, cloning, genetically modified crops and animal testing and then identify the subjective aspect of science in...

Students discuss the different religions that make up the world today. They complete an interest inventory about their belief systems and the influence it has had on their lives. In groups of two, then four, then eight they discuss...
