This lesson plan created by Tanner Dance at the University of Utah includes a video and plan for teaching dance, symmetry, angles, and perimeter. The plan includes a warm up and various dance/math integration activities.

This song helps students understand the difference between parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines. It even has actions that students can learn.

This problem challenges and extends students' spatial awareness with 2D shapes. The students are given three different irregular shapes. The goal is to divide each of them into two parts that are exactly the same shape and size. The Teachers' Notes page offers rationale, suggestions for implementation with a link to Happy Halving (cataloged seperately), discussion questions, and ideas for extension and support.

In this activity students try to visualize 3-D shapes from given 2-D silhouettes (projections). Students can describe, draw, model or relate their ideas to objects in their environment. With several possible answers for each silhouette, students become more familiar with using the terms and describing the properties of solid figures. The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for extension and support. A warmup activity called "Skeleton Shapes" is offered (cataloged separately). [Note: "torch" in the UK = "flashlight" in the US.]
