Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Most middle schoolers probably feel that quilting is at best an activity left to their grandmothers. This lesson uses the Zome modeling system to get them to realize how shapes in quilting are really tessellations and repeating patterns....

Students research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram lesson, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Students construct a set of tangrams, compare the...

Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding and...

Kick-start children's education with this pre-school math unit. Offering 31 different hands-on learning activities that develop young mathematicians' pattern and shape recognition, basic number sense, and much more, this is a...

Young scholars explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry instructional activity, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Young scholars use Microsoft Paint to...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

First graders explore eight geometry activities that improve understanding of positional words and shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They help another student who may not understand the concept yet.

Young scholars 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.

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. For this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

For this equations and inequalities worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 different multiple choice problems that contain various equations. First, they determine the solutions to a number of different equations given. Then,...

Students learn how to understand and use fabrics in a scrap quilt. They will gain the most if they can actually compose a quilt (or the beginnings of one) within class time.Quilting is a skill that is difficult for younger children to...

Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.

Students use triangulation method to locate meteorite landing site on the map. In this earth science lesson, students participate in a meteorite treasure hunt set up by the teacher. They explain how this method is used by scientists to...

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Fifth graders review the concept of a line of symmetry by using pieces of paper that have pictures such as, letters of the alphabet, polygons, and designs made from polygons in order to determine if they have symmetry. The fine,...

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Explore the concept of the equals symbol. In this mathematical symbols lesson, learners discover the meaning of the equals sign (symbol). They also construct addition and subtraction sentences to understand the concept of equal parts.

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Learners create their own "gift drawings" that are inspired by the dreams and visions of the Shakers. In this gift drawings lesson plan, students learn the history of the Shakers, make their own drawing, and practice elements of design...
