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

In this geometry lesson, students trace the capital letter "T" in different directions to learn how a shape is congruent. Students trace this letter on a sheet of paper, then turn, flip it, and trace it in different directions, only to...

Students calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. In this geometry instructional activity, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and...

Students examine the mathematical concept of area. These activities and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of this mathematical concept and will enable students to calculate the area of a random shape on a grid.

Students identify different leaf types. They examine their patterns, shapes and colors. They complete a worksheet to end the instructional activity.

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students discuss the life and artistic style of Henri Rousseau, identify traits of artistic perspective, and create paintings using simple shapes and oil pastels in this 4th through 6th grade Art Lesson. Resource links are included with...

Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.

Students will draw the moon's shape for each evening on a calendar and then determine the pattern in the shapes over several weeks. Students' understandings should be confined to observations, descriptions, and finding patterns.

Fifth graders recognize shape and number patterns. In groups, 5th graders use strategies to find patterns. They extend the patterns and give explanations as to how they found the pattern. Students use the computer and the hundreds...

Seventh graders develop strategies for finding the perimeter and area of large geometric figures. Through lecture and guided practice, 7th graders practice the strategy of dividing a geometric shape into smaller more manageable shapes...

In this symmetry worksheet, students circle the shape if it has lines of symmetry and draw in the lines of symmetry. Students finish with one test prep questions finding the shape that has a correctly drawn line of symmetry.

Students read the book Winter Lights: A Season in Poems & Quilts and do language arts and math activities that go with the book. In this language arts and math lesson plan, students read the book given and do activities that include...

In this water vocabulary learning exercise, students read and learn 12 words that pertain to water and the water cycle. Each word and definition is printed on a separate page in a snowflake shape.

Students identify patterns and what they represent on an ancient Egyptian wall fragment. Artists often repeat shapes, lines, and forms to create patterns. Several examples of repetition and pattern appear in this wall fragment.

Students reflect, through autobiographical writing, on events in their lives that they feel most shaped their personal identities.

Pupils compare and contrast world maps and globes. They convert a 3-dimensional globe to a 2-dimensional map. They are introduced to the Mercator map projection. They observe map distortions of shape, area, distance, directions and angle.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Students create abstract compositions based on the later works of Wassily Kandinsky using the primary colors in this early elementary Art lesson. The lesson emphasizes the use of color, lines, and shapes to create the abstract works of...

Students research stars, constellations, planets and galaxies including names, shapes, sizes, colors, patterns and ages. They suspend the stars and planets from the ceiling and change monthy to display the various constellations. As a...

Sixth graders investigate the area of polygons. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders calculate area of prisms using geometric formulas. They work with prisms and other rectangular shapes.

Fourth graders explore how to find the area of a rectangular object. As a class, they discuss definition of area and strategies for finding area. The teacher models finding the area of an object by counting squares. Students observe...

Tenth graders explore the properties of the incenter of a triangle. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders construct a triangle and the angle bisectors of each angle. The dynamic properties of Cabri Jr. allow students to locate and...

In this number partner instructional activity, students color shapes in sets with two colors to show the partners of each number, 7 sets in all.
