Give scholars the gift of knowledge with a present-themed pattern block mat designed to reinforce geometry skills. As they compile the blocks in the correct order to complete patterns, they form a lovely picture of a holiday gift.

Snowmen don't have to be three stacked circles! Practice geometry skills with a holiday-themed pattern block mat that features two smiling snowmen.

Young elementary students will discover there are patterns all around them in their daily lives. In groups, they sort pattern blocks by size and color. Using the internet, they create their own type of patterns and share them with the...

Young scholars create patterns. In this math lesson, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Young scholars analyze the patterns they see.

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

Students study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to create tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, 4th graders create tessellations from a tessellation web page and define a tessellation. Students find examples of tessellations in...

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint lesson describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities such as planting...

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. For this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

First graders draw, cut out, and design their own fish shapes by cutting out shapes and putting them together. For this shapes and patterns worksheet, 1st graders also construct a stamp and print patterns with stamps to repeat a...

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern instructional activity, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at....

Explore the world of shapes! After free tangram exploration and pair share time, learners describe various patterns and shapes in both the natural and designed world. They investigate the use of tangrams to create patterns and shapes.

Learners identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Fifth graders solve mathematical problems using manipulatives in this math lesson plan for the fifth grade classroom. Various activities are suggested for lesson plan implementation making this lesson plan highly adaptable to fit the...

Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Students listen to the teacher read a book and participate with guided questions. They discuss patterns and how they repeat, by looking at quilts. They design their own quilt block to create a class quilt.

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...

Reinforce number sense with a collection of math lessons for kindergarteners through fifth graders. Young mathematicians take part in hands-on activities, learning games, and complete skills-based worksheets to enhance proficiency...

Third graders explore place value to the ten thousands place. This incredibly thorough, 24-page lesson has learners construct, order, and compare numbers to 9,999. This three-day lesson includes reteaching and extension activities...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

Second graders observe and design manipulatives showing fractional parts.  In this fractional part lesson, 2nd graders create a paper hamburger using circle fractions.  Students navigate a website to find fractional parts of a...
