Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Sponge painting is a technique that is fun for learners of all ages and it can be adapted to fit a variety of skill levels and subjects. Here, little ones use sponges and paint to make geometric patterns. Tip: Sponges can be cut into...

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.

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. In this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing...

Off they go — launching rockets is fun. The lesson plan contains templates to build paper rockets that can be launched from a PVC pipe launcher. Individuals or groups build the rockets and determine the shapes for their fins. Included...

Learners use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Students in a teacher education program enhance their awareness of patterns. They discover how to support their students in developing this skill in mathematical terms. They role play the role of a K-2 student and collect images from...

Young scholars identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson plan, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, young scholars...

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 patterns activity, students examine five strips of patterns and decide which of two shapes at the end should follow the pattern shown.

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.

What do your pupils know about quilting? Read and discuss the information included here before sending class members off to create their own quilt blocks using construction paper. When they have completed their blocks, provide some time...

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. In this early elementary math lesson plan, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Invite your first graders to compose and decompose two and three-dimensional figures with this fun, hands-on lesson. They investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart two-dimensional shapes with rubber bands...

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

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.

Students create images from simple shapes.

Students explore optical illusions. In this Applied Science lesson, students view optical illusions and record the data of what they see. Students graph the data that they collect.

Students apply what they have learned, from Eight Hands Round a Patchwork Alphabet, about how quilt blocks got their names by constructing and naming a quilt block pattern of their own using pattern blocks and pattern block paper.

Explore the concept of the equals symbol. In this mathematical symbols lesson, learners discover the meaning of the equals sign (symbol). They also construct addition and subtraction sentences to understand the concept of equal parts.
