A Geometric 'Field Trip': Students conduct a 'field trip' around the school (inside and out) looking for examples of geometric shapes. They record their findings using a digital camera and present their findings in a multimedia presentation.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Information Skills, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Computer Technology Skills); By Mary Rizzo.

Geometry and Art: Art Museum Post-Visit: Geometry and Art: Art Museum Post-Visit is the third lesson of 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 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Geometry and Art: Art Museum Visit: Geometry and Art: Art Museum Visit is the second lesson of a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this lesson students apply their knowledge of geometry by sorting, classifying and counting plane geometric figures during a visit to the art museum to look at and compare twentieth- century paintings. Students then collect data and share what they observe.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

The Shape of Stuff: This lesson will involve students identifying, describing, and making solid figures.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics and Computer Technology Skills); By Bettie Davis.

Creating a two-dimensional blueprint: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students draw two-dimensional blueprints, on graph paper, of clubhouses they have designed.

Geoboards: Students identify and recognize triangles using multiple representations, locate triangles in their environment, and construct triangles. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Going Beyond with Triangles: Students create a class triangle book and work with tangrams. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Going on a shape hunt: Integrating math and literacy: Students learn shape names, locate shapes in their environment, practice spelling out the names of items and shapes they locate, and reflect, in writing, on the process.

Making Virtual Triangles: Students identify and recognize triangles using multiple representations interactive electronic geoboards to explore the characteristics of triangles. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Pigging Out: The activity uses “The Three Little Pigs” to motivate students to think and reason mathematically. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 English Language Arts and Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Putting it all together: Students create, design, and evaluate different structures. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science

Teaching shapes using read-alouds, visualization, and sketch to stretch: Students explore shape and pattern through an adapted sketch to stretch strategy and read-alouds of winter-themed books. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 English Language Arts and Mathematics); Provider: IRA/NCTE

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.
