3-5
Students discover Euler's Formula, a way of calculating the number of faces, edges, and vertices of geometric solids.
3-5
Students construct physical models of geometric solids.
3-5
Students identify which geometric solids can be made from given nets. Students also create nets for common geometric solids.
3-5
Students review basic geometric terms related to triangles. They explore these terms and other geometric concepts by modeling them on the geoboard.
3-5
Students continue to explore geometric concepts by modeling on the geoboard. Communication is the Process Standard emphasized in this lesson.
3-5
Students identify lines of symmetry and congruent figures. They explore these concepts with paper cutting and modeling on the geoboard.
3-5
This lesson provides students with an exploration of the geometric figures Wassily Kandinsky used in his art. Students participate in a scavenger hunt to become familiar with Kandinsky’s works and the geometric figures used in his paintings.
3-5
Students use paintings studied in the previous lesson to connect their knowledge of geometric shapes and terms with Kandinsky’s use of geometric figures.
3-5
This lesson allows students to apply what they have learned in previous lessons by designing their own art. Students use Kandinsky’s style of art and their own creativity to make paintings that reflect their understanding of geometry.
3-5, 6-8
This lesson uses a real-world situation to help develop students' spatial visualization skills and geometric understanding. Emma, a new employee at a box factory, is supposed to make cube‑shaped jewelry boxes. Students help Emma determine how many different nets are possible and then analyze the resulting cubes.
