Then, color in each section based on where the coordinates fall.

Provide coordinates and have students plot them on their grid paper. Reference the work of Mondrian and have students create their own gridded piece of artwork. Color in the shapes using different colored markers. Then draw the smaller geometric shapes that comprise, or make up, that larger shape. Using a black marker, draw a large geometric shape in the middle of your page. Students can work to create composite figures using geometric shapes in the style of medieval stained glass work. Using pencils and scrap paper create a triangle, square, or rectangle using only smaller triangles, rectangles, and squares. For each connected shape, have students glue down a label that joins the two pieces and write down the difference between the lengths of both connected shapes. After gluing, have students measure each of the shapes on their paper that are placed next to or layered on top of each other (connected pieces). Then, they can create a collage of one of the shapes.

Have students cut out all rectangles or squares in different sizes. Cut geometric shapes of different shapes for collagesĬreate a tissue paper collage of abstract art using various sizes of the same shape. Ask students about what numbers correspond to the placement of the hands on the clock and have them count by 5’s all the way up to 60. This lesson helps students visualize the imaginary numbers that are on the clock. Construct an hour and minute hand, color them the corresponding blue and red colors, and fasten them to the center clock so that they can freely rotate around. Just write in line demarcations in place of the minute hands. This corresponds to the hours on the clock. Students draw a clock and color in two circles around the circumference of the clock.
