Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.

Students investigate the art of baseball. In this sports lesson plan, students discuss their thoughts about the sport of baseball and create a baseball word list. Students use pattern blocks and drawing paper to create a...

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students, after researching the history and foundation of Renaissance rose windows, access ArtEmboss to create an original window design. They employ a basic metalworking technique utilizing a soft metal. The design created incorporates...

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Young scholars explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Young scholars measure the plane's angles...

In this math and logic worksheet, students solve 2 problems in which they examine a picture of 5 squares in a particular formation. Students build this with toothpicks. Students are instructed to move a specified number of toothpicks to...

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Young scholars create a quilt-like fabric swatches using Crayograph crayons, emery paper and rubbing plates.

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and...

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Young scholars arecognize the architecture of another culture, how the architecture of a people records their history, explore artistic elements, explore and use geometric concepts of shape, pattern, and symmetry.

Students learn the vocabulary of contemporary sculpture and distinguish between abstract and realistic sculpture, mobile and stabile, biomorphic and geometric. They write equations using Calder's mobiles

Students examine the early civilizations of Central and South America. After examining hand-crafted objects, they discuss the craftsmanship of the Inca and how they used geometric shapes and symbols in their art. They draft a design...

Students keep a daily diet diary and discuss the Food Pyramid. They investigate other geometric shapes as a way to display daily food guidelines. In groups, they design a menu for the Food Pyramid Restaurant.

In this mirror images activity, students solve 4 problems in which mirror image patterns are identified and mirror images of geometric figures are drawn. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.

In this comparing geometric figures worksheet, learners continue patterns and observe circles. In this problem solving worksheet, students answer seven questions.

Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. In this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.
