Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students explore what the sky looks like at different times. They identify objects in the sky and recognize changes over time. Students observe the sky and look for objects that are common in both the daytime and the nighttime sky.

Students recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.

First graders make an "ABB" pattern from macaroni they dyed in a previous lesson. They follow the pattern as they string the macaroni to make a necklace. This lesson is a nice math/social studies tie in.

First graders practice identifying number patterns. In this basic patterns lesson, 1st graders use a large number line and jump to certain numbers to create, identify or extend a pattern. This lesson includes a script to guide the teacher.
