Students practice multiplication sequences and multiplying with exponents. They study how a sequence is a set of numbers which follows a mathematical rule and can be used with all four operations and with combinations of operations.

Students explore about triangles and their relationship to the worlld around them. They are able to identify triangular shapes in their environment. Students are able to communicate to one another their understanding of triangles outside...

Students examine patterning in Chinese and Japanese artwork prior to creating their own tessellations using styrofoam plates in this creative cross-curricular lesson for upper-elementary/middle level classrooms.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The instructional activity and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students explore characteristics of geometric shapes. They participate in a paper folding activity to create various geometric shapes. Students design a mobile of the shapes they have created.

Students practice theories dealing with equals sign used as a balance, inequality symbols and practice utilizing a box or some other geometric shape to represent an unknown number. They assess numeracy problems embedded in language-rick...

Students examine works of stained glass in one dimensional art form then adapt it a three dimensional transparent mobile. They create their mobile using patterns of shapes and simple images from computer line art, printed art books or...

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Students study the tradional Native American methods of making pottery. They examine the patterns used and design their own pattern that they will use as they make their own pottery utilizing the clay from the surrounding environment.

Students are exposed to different types of sequences. in this sequencing lesson, students learn about simple sequences, multiplication sequences, declining sequences, the Fibonacci sequence and other sequences.

Help your math class understand variables. This activity is for a visual learner. They will use weights and a balance scale to show how the sides of an equation are equal. Worksheet is included.

Students describe, and try, the process of weaving and demonstrate how Native Americans and others wove beads on a loom to create long, narrow bands for hair and bracelets.

Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.
