Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry
Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...
Curated OER
Transformations-Shapes on the Move
Students examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.
Curated OER
Tessellation
Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...
Curated OER
Patterns: A Stitch in Time
Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.
Curated OER
Finding Math In The World Of Art
Students explore the use of Math in the world of Art. In this mathematics and visual art lesson, they design a picture using math digits that are camouflaged into a pictures. Additional cross curriculum activities are embedded in the plan.
Curated OER
Weave Drawing - Pencils
Students create a work of art based on a theme showing skill in pencil shading. They create a work of art showing value contrast to center of interest. They use math concepts to enlarge a composition using a grid.
Curated OER
Tesselations
Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.
Curated OER
Cubes-IV
Learners examine the relationship between three dimensions and two dimensions by working with shadows of cubes and other models. Students work in groups and use Zome System Creator Kits to try and build a shape other than a cube that...
Curated OER
Anamorphosis
Young scholars classify optical illusions according to their distinguishing characteristics. They create anamorphic art and use Mylar flexible mirrors to view and then they describe and analyze the optical illusion.
Curated OER
Tessellating Art
Fourth graders create artwork showing their own unique tessellating shapes. They apply the symmetries of a regular polygon and describe the reflection or rotational symmetry of a figure or object. They share their art work with the class.
Curated OER
Distortion Unleashed
Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...
Curated OER
Totally Tessellations!
Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...
Curated OER
Geometry and Symmetry
Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.
Curated OER
Translation
Tenth graders identify and interpret vocabulary terms as they relate to vectors. Students practice translations by creating several tessellations. Students determine the direction and distance using vectors. Students use grid paper to...
Curated OER
Using the Variation Approach
Students explore and explain geometrical applications, and how to apply these applications to real life.
Curated OER
Patterns Everywhere
Students connect math to images they pass in every day life- from the smallest bud of a flower to the most intricately woven spider web, students can relate to math and therefore enjoy it further. A main objective of the unit is to...
Curated OER
Scientific Images & Animations
Learners view a variety of scientific images and animations. They explore the world of science and visual art. Students enrich their knowledge through animation examinations of thoughts and feelings and awesome color rainbows of...
Curated OER
Artistic Angles
Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...
