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 view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Learners reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The lesson culminates with students creating their own patterns to use in...

Young scholars explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to...

In this math patterns worksheet, students use the understand, plan, solve, and look back problem solving strategy to help them find the patterns for the two problems.

Maximize a profit with an understanding of geometric dimension. A real-world task challenges learners to design a pattern using three different brick shapes. The bricks are dedicated with a different donation for each shape, so part of...

In this geometry and religion learning exercise, students examine a black line picture of an Islamic pattern before identifying the shapes in the pattern. They color the pattern by following the directions given at the bottom of the page.

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

In this math worksheet, students examine a drawing of a neighborhood made of geometric shapes. Students answer 5 questions about patterns they discover. Then students answer 5 word questions about address numbers by using logical...

Fifth graders explore basic geometric terms. Pupils draw a physical picture of a scene that illustrates at least five geometric terms. Partners exchange drawings and locate the illustration of geometric terms in the drawing.

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...

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

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Learners explore the history and purpose of quilts in early America. They create and name their own unique quilt blocks. Students combine their quilt blocks with other learners in the class to create a class quilt.

Learners use pattern blocks to help them complete fraction problems. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete problems on worksheets provided.

Learners solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square. 

Learners study geometric shapes and find patterns in shapes, numbers, and beats. In this patterns lesson, students complete a handout 'Guess the Pattern and watch a video about breaking a code. Learners read a word problem and watch a...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

The sky is the limit when printing custom 3-D shape templates from this site. Not only can you pick your shape and pattern, there is an option to upload an image for the different sides of the geometric shape. Let your learners have fun...

An outstanding lesson plan on triangles awaits your math scholars. Learners focus on the triangle, which is the strongest of all polygons. They see the role that triangles play in the design of buildings, and learn about triangle...
