Geometry and art: Art museum post-visit: This is the third lesson in a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this integrated lesson, students apply their knowledge of geometry by organizing and displaying information in graphs with correct labeling. Students then compare and analyze graphs. Finally, with this information students create a geometric design.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

What can you build with triangles?: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore ways of building different basic shapes from triangles. They communicate their findings to their peers and investigate three dimensional shapes constructed from triangles.
