A Different Point of View
Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson plan should fit...
Curated OER
Complete The Pattern
Students are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give to a...

ExplorA-Pond:3rd Grade Shapes & Fractions
Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Ostinato
Quarter notes, eighth notes, and rests; it's time to read rhythmic patterns in music. The class plays ostinatos as they practice identifying rhythmic patterns. They then listen to Mannheim Steamroller as they draw geometric patterns that...
Curated OER
Connecting Formulas Related to Geometric Figures
Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.
Curated OER
Primary Geometry
Students identity simple geometric shapes. For this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Geo Jammin By Design: The Important Thing
Young scholars brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.
Getting to Know
Shape and Form in Art
Introduce youngsters to the important role shape and form play in art with this extensive collection of activities and projects. From teaching first graders how to create mandalas to engaging third and fourth graders in the design...

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 4: Transformation Station
Second graders manipulate triangles to discover the concepts of slides, flips and turns of a geometric shape.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 3: Moo-vin
Second graders practice new geometry vocabulary by putting the words to the tune of "Hokey Pokey." students use the lyrics as a guided reading experience.
Curated OER
Tiling the Plane
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...
Curated OER
Fractals Rock
Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.
Curated OER
Properties of Fractals
Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...
Curated OER
Balanced Equations
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.

Describing and Creating Plane Figures - Grade One
Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...
Curated OER
Impossible Graphs
Young scholars practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...
Curated OER
Cuisenaire Mats
First graders use Cuisenaire rods to study the mathematical symbols =, <, > for the relationships is equal to, is less than, and is greater than. They use the rods to show visual explanations of common number combinations.
Curated OER
Triangle Inequality Theorems Investigation
Young scholars estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.
Curated OER
Comparing Costs
Learners compare the costs of two cellular phone plans and determine the best rate. They use a table and a graph of points plotted on a Cartesian plane to display their findings. Students write an equation containing variables that could...
