For this 2-D shapes lesson, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson!

Ask elementary young scholars to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show...

Add a little art into your next class discussion on shape identification. Provided here is a string of images that show two-dimensional shapes found throughout the art world. Oval baskets, hexagonal tiles, and round coins provide...

A one-pager featuring 2-D quadrilaterals.

Learners study parallel and perpendicular lines. In this parallel and perpendicular instructional activity, pupils explore 2-D shapes and determine if the sides are parallel or perpendicular.

Students explore regular geometric shapes. For this shapes lesson, students investigate geometric shapes in the world around them. Students differentiate between regular and irregular shapes.

In this math and language arts learning exercise, students examine 15 words in a word bank which pertain to geometric shapes. Students find the words in a word search puzzle.

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

Students research tall buildings and identify the geometric shapes used in the construction of the buildings. They compare shapes and infer why some are better than others in building. They produce a multimedia presentation of geometric...

Students read and discuss books about aboriginal family life. Working individually and in groups, they complete a series of activities in various subject areas, including art, language, math, and social studies. Among the activities ...

Young scholars design their own playground equipment. In this design lesson plan, students take pictures of equipment they like and make a class pictograph of their favorite ones. They investigate the design, research equipment around...

Learners analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend the forces in terms of strength and direction. Students observe, measure and describe weather indicators.

Pupils are introduced to Guatemala and to the tradition of giant kites. They decorate the kite sail and construct the kite. Students identifies possible causal factors contributing to given historical events.

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

First graders explore facial expressions in a mirror and create drawings of people with a facial expression of their choice. They graph the facial expressions drawn.

These activities will allow learners to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

In this lesson, students will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.

In this lesson, students will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

You don't have to be a trained artist to create beautiful two and three-dimensional art projects with your preschoolers. Many simple activities, such as painting and coloring, can be modified to include sensory elements to increase...

I love blending art and math. I want my students to develop a depth of knowledge for 2D plane shapes and distinguish polygon from non-polygon shapes.
