This project challenges you to figure out how to make geometric patterns with Rubik's Cube. Leaving your cube in one of these positions makes it much more tempting to pick it up and 'fix' it. See if you can determine how different...

This task challenges a student to describe, extend and make generalizations about a geometric pattern.

Students consider the patterns that emerge from agent models and geometric fractals.

A dictionary entry for Islam and Islamic art with numerous illustrations of representative works in all media, including architecture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and manuscripts. Includes useful cross-references to related terms and...

Eighth graders are presented with a pattern of octagon tiles. They are asked to answer questions about angle measures and hexagonal arrangements. Aligns with 8.G.A.5.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometric and numerical patterns to identify and continue a pattern.

This lesson focuses on tessellations, a tessellation is a geometric pattern that covers a surface without gaps or overlaps. They can be seen everywhere in nature such as a honeycomb or a tortoise shell.

The students will extend the knowledge of algebraic expressions from geometric representations and ultimately graph linear equations with understanding. The students will also develop a better understanding of algebraic expressions by...

Why can we find geometric shapes in the night sky? How can we know that at least two people in London have exactly the same number of hairs on their head? And why can patterns be found in just about any text - even Vanilla Ice lyrics?...

Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Carpet, a fractal made from subdividing a square into nine smaller squares and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

A geometry lesson plan that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive lesson plan that considers students with diverse learning styles. Math concepts...

Step through the generation of the Koch Snowflake, a fractal made from deforming the sides of a triangle, and explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

In addition to arithmetic and geometric sequences, Fibonacci Numbers, and figurate numbers, there are countless interesting sequences that don't follow a similar, regular pattern. These include prime numbers, perfect numbers, the...
