Analyzing Numeric and Geometric Patterns of Paper Pool
Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Investigation-How Many Toothpicks?
Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

Geometry: Helix-a-Graph
Students use geometry to create art. In this geometric graphing and patterns lesson, students create a helix-a-graph by plotting points on a grid that follow a certain pattern and analyze the drawing they created.

Everyday Heroes You Can Be One, Too
Students listen to a read aloud of Alan Baker's, White Rabbit's Color Book while identifying shapes and lines throughout the book. They use shapes and different types of lines to create a bunny of their own. They must use five shapes to...

Gumdrop Crystal Models
A great way to learn about molecular structures is to make a model. Gumdrops and toothpicks are used to construct crystal models. The models are based on theories of crystal shapes that occur because of positive and or negatively charged...

Pizza Topping Combinations
Students brainstorm pizza toppings and determine the number of possible ways to order a pizza. In this algebra lesson plan, students analyze and investigate geometric patterns as they relate to the concept of a variable. Students...

Problem Solving Using Power Polygons
Pupils investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Pupils identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Putting It All Together
Students complete activities to learn about the shapes and their vertices. In this shape recognition instructional activity, students discover the rule linking the number of sides with the number of vertices for shapes. Students...
