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...

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

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various 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.

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

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

Students 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...

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.

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.

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.

Learners explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

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

Students listen to the teacher read "A Dreamer's Cloak." They examine the difference between squares and circles and create their own cloak by using a paper bag and different shapes.

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

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

In this instructional activity, students will create a class quilt of nine patch paper quilt blocks using geometry.

Find out how quilting and math go hand in hand when you visit this comprehensive resource. This resource provides a lesson plan for integrating geometry concepts with quilt making.

Investigating designs and shapes in quilts around the world is the activity in this internet exploration. Learners will also design their own quilt on paper or on the computer. Acrobat Reader required.

Students will use a square to investigate other polygonal shapes that can be formed. Students will work with these polygons to make designs that will later constitute cooperatively designed quilts. The quilts will be made by translating,...
