Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Ninth graders examine mathematical patterns. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders collaborate to think outside the box and share solutions to problems they have encountered. Students use popsicle sticks to solve various building problems...

Learners explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Learners examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Learners build a kite while integrating math and science. In this kite building instructional activity, students construct a blueprint and apply mathematical formulas while constructing a kite. They use appropriate flight and kite...

Pupils solve problems using patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students explore language arts by participating in a shape identification activity. In this geometry shape instructional activity, students discuss the vocabulary terms used to describe the location of an object. Students complete a...

Third graders compare and contrast the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Using a tetrominoes game, they create two-dimensional shapes to cover up a game board. At the conclusion of the game, 3rd graders discuss the patterns they...

Young scholars identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then young scholars identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the...

In this Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II worksheet, students determine what term is missing in the two given sequences.  The one page worksheet has two problems with the solutions. 

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's with...

Students explore symmetry.  For this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

In this math worksheet, students review for the exam given by the state of New York. There are 16 pages and 27 questions in this booklet covering topics from algebra, geometry and statistics.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson plan, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when...

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson covers all aspects of...

Students explore fractal geometry. They do online explorations of fractals to discover applications of fractal geometry for a report.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

In this interactive lesson, students review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create tessellations. They...

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....
