Eighth graders determine the square and cube roots of given numbers in this math lesson. They determine the missing number in a sequence. Additionally, they calculate the interior and exterior polygon angles.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry lesson plan, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram...

Middle schoolers add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. They find the square and the cube of numbers. They create a game incorporating computation on rational numbers. Everyone works together to write and evaluate...

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

It's time for a family reunion—function families, that is. Pupils first review different types of parent functions. They then see how to apply transformations to graphs and learn how to select the most appropriate type of function to...

Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Young scholars explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They observe geometric shapes and forms in public sculpture. Students create a unique sculpture of their own using basic three dimensional shapes. Additional cross curriculum...

Young scholars measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

Learners photograph shapes around their school and create a shape movie.  For this shape hunting lesson, students recognize shapes in a shape hunt.  Learners can identify the shapes recorded by others in the class.

Are you looking for a good 3-D geometry lesson that includes hands-on activities for your middle schoolers? Look no further than this one! Pupils use centimeter grid paper embedded in the plan, along with detailed construction...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Explore Pablo Picasso. For this art history and face drawing lesson plan, read a brief biography of Pablo Picasso. Draw a self portrait following guided instruction by the teacher.  Paint a self-portrait and practice adding white...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry activity, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

Students explore three topics of elements of art in this seven lessons unit. An overview of light, space, figure, ground, pattern, balance and symmetry are presented in this unit.

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Students study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.

Students observe how certain geometric shapes can be used to make some structures rigid and others flexible. The activity involves construction of a 30-60 right triangle, folding while following directions, and identifying polygons.

Third graders construct and use vocabulary flipbooks to draw and describe three-dimensional figures. They utilize worksheets and access websites imbedded in this plan which help them construct their books.
