Learners examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Students construct the tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions to fold and cut. They make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other. They explore patterns and shapes with the...

Fifth graders read the book, "The Talking Earth" and research an animal that is found in the Everglades.

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.

Young scholars listen to a poem that includes directions to use geometric figures to complete a creative task.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Young scholars create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Students investigate the culturally artistic value of quilts, the importance of trade in meeting basic needs, and the conservation of natural resources.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Students watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.

Students explore the complexity of handmade quilts and their designs by looking a real life samples.

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Young scholars listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students examine lines of symmetry with different shapes. Then students create their own books of symmetry with different two-dimensional shapes on each page.

Students experiment with scale to solve a problem presented in a video clip. They determine the correct size to use when constructing a model and evaluate the use of proportions in real life applications.

Students study the elements of the Periodic Table as they relate to the building blocks of the body. They experiment to measure the amount of iron in the body.

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Fifth graders play a game in which they list as many environmental issues or terms in alphabetical order. They brainstorm ways they can save the environment and create a mural that displayed research found from the internet and Encarta.

Students analyze and calculate expenses using the historic Horatio's road trip. Mathematics is taught using a cross curricular approach.
