Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

Students engage in a lesson about polygons while creating a mosaic pattern. They concentrate upon creating a pattern that is geometric and has the look of a quilt design. The lesson includes steps to complete the project and helpful hints.

Middle schoolers build a three-dimensional 12-pointed star as a geometric exercise. The shape is quite-difficult to construct. Luckily there is an excellent template that learners cut out, then use to make their pyramid. The second part...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes according to sentences that describe them. Students identify 8 shapes, but have 14 to choose from.

In this comparing geometric figures worksheet, students continue patterns and observe circles. In this problem solving worksheet, students answer seven questions.

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Students 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.

In this patterns worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about what shape or number comes next in the pattern. Students complete 10 questions.

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders explore number and geometric patterns and use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find the prime numbers less than one hundred.  The six page worksheet contains eight multipart questions. ...

Students 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. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Get two activities with one lesson plan. The first lesson plan, is appropriate for grades 6-12 and takes about 20 minutes. It introduces the concept of measures of central tendency, primarily the mean, and discusses its uses as well as...

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.

Students identify polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify and describe polygons. Students create new shapes out of the shapes they are given.

The first activity in this resource has learners computing the mean and standard deviation of two different data sets and drawing conclusions based on their results. The second activity has them using a dice-rolling simulation to...

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

In this lengths, areas and shapes learning exercise, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

In this patterns worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about number and shape patterns. Students complete 10 questions total.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

In this reflections and symmetry instructional activity, learners draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Students explore tessellations and the artwork of M.C. Escher. They view and discuss a video about M.C. Escher, create a slide template out of cardboard, and create a poster with their tessellation pattern.
