Geometric patterns illuminate this colorful and interactive PowerPoint. First, patterns must be identified. Next, students discern the missing color in a block pattern. Lastly, they observe a figure to determine how many blocks are used....

Students make a quilt. In this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their own...

Introduce youngsters to the important role shape and form play in art with this extensive collection of activities and projects. From teaching first graders how to create mandalas to engaging third and fourth graders in the design...

Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

In this math graphs worksheet, students study 5 large boxes filled with different geometric shapes. Students make a graph, tallying how many of each shape they see.

In this math learning exercise students see 10 sets of math patterns. Each pattern is made up of repeating geometric shapes. Students mark the choice which would complete the pattern.

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Students explore tessellations. For this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students examine geometric shapes. For this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom....

In this patterns worksheet, students examine five strips of geometric shapes and then decide which of two shapes at the end is the next one to follow each pattern.

In this patterns worksheet, students examine five strips of geometric shapes and then decide which shape out of two shown at the end should follow at the end of each strip.

In this math worksheet, students examine a pattern of geometric shapes. After looking at the sequence of shapes and deciding what the pattern is, students choose the shape that would come next. There are 4 problems.

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry activity, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Young scholars analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They find shapes in their environment, and communicate why it is like the shape of their choice and not like another shape.

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

In this patterns worksheet, students analyze a row of geometric shapes in a pattern. Students draw the next three shapes that would come in the sequence. There are 5 problems.

In this pattern recognition worksheet, students determine which shape comes next in nine strips of shapes and then draw that shape on the line provided.

Second graders study movements. In this dance lesson, 2nd graders draw patterns selecting one to represent through movement with their body.
