Students make patterns with a variety of pattern blocks. Pupils experiment with making tile designs using only one shape by rotating that shape around a point. They enter a contest for creating the best tile design for the new plaza...

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders investigate Pascal's Triangles as they relate it to probability problems and geometric problems. They review the theories behind the formulas.

Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes instructional activity, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces...

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems that are based on the theorems associated with perpendicular and angle bisectors of a triangle.  An application on the coordinate plane is included.  The one page...

Second graders view clips from the animated series Math Monsters, and discuss the many ways patterns can be found in the world around us. Following the video portion of the lesson, 2nd graders visit a variety of Web sites to assess their...

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

Students prepare for the calculus concepts of limits by examining sequences that converge and diverge. By using an Excel program that generates sequences, students manipulate the starting number, multiplier and add-on values, and examine...

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

In this net worksheet, students use the pattern to create a triangular prism. Students cut out the pattern and fold on the dotted lines and paste it to make the solid figure.

In this math worksheet, students create a model of a triangular prism by cutting the pattern and folding on the lines. There is no picture of the finished product.

This is an integrated lesson that incorporates Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. In Social Studies, 7th graders complete an online interview and complete an online worksheet about latitude of sites on the Anza trail. In Science...

Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...

Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.

Pupils study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Students complete a two-week unit involving design and construction concepts. They watch a PowerPoint presentation about geometric shapes, draw the fourteen shapes incorporated in bridge construction, and in small groups design, build,...

Pupils construct geometric figures using Cabri Jr. in this constructing geometric figures using Cabri Jr. lesson. They familiarize themselves with Cabri Jr. and construct segments and triangles. Your learners will use various tools to...

Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.
