A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Fifth graders draw 2-D and 3-D shapes. They sketch and label geometric figures with correct terminology, then explore parallel and perpendicular lines. Pupils sort and classify shapes drawn.

In order to better understand how to locate a plane of symmetry in 3-dimensional objects, learners create a dance. The class reviews dance and math symmetry, then they practice making symmetrical shapes and movements with a partner....

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. In this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference between...

Notan is a Japanese word that expresses the interaction between light and dark. Learners explore Notan while creating dimensional art pieces that examine positive and negative spaces. They'll discuss the art of Notan, create...

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Kids in grade four through eight research Inuit artists and art styles. After a critical look at Inuit sculpture, they use those forms for inspiration as they create one of their own. They practice using the subtractive method of...

Children who are blind need to constantly be engaged in building conceptual understandings of the world around them. This activity will help them grasp the concept of shape, identify shapes, and consider shapes as they are used to...

Students sketch and create nets of different polygons.In this geometry lesson, students differentiate prisms from other three-dimensional shapes. They define the properties of prisms.

Use dance to help learners conceptualize line segments, rays, lines, and planes. They choreograph dances that show dimensional space. Dancers start by pondering space, point, and lines as the teacher draws them in the air. Each...

Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...

Students analyze Greek vase painting and create their own vase art. For this vase painting lesson, students analyze the design element shape and the relationship between figure and ground. Students design a figure/ground relationship...

Students identify and discuss the basic shapes used in artistic still-life compositions.

Learners study facial symmetry. They explore lines of symmetry, and create illustrations with multiple lines of symmetry.

High schoolers investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson plan, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of...

Fifth graders identify and classify scalene, equilateral, and isosceles triangles. For this triangle lesson, 5th graders define the different attributes of 3 types of triangles and sort them by descriptions and...

Learners explore world mapping skills. In this world geography lesson, students identify and label the continents and oceans on a world map using the Visual Thesaurus. Learners generate mnemonic devices to help memorize these terms.

Fifth graders classify triangles. In this triangle instructional activity, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.
