Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students study the types of symmetry that appear in different basketball symbols. They point out changes that rotate symmetry from one type to another.

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 discuss and study the word symmetry. They examine letters of the alphabet, shapes, and artwork and decide if they are symmetrical or not. Then they create their own symmetry monsters.

Learners identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Pupils, in groups, construct different angles and shapes on a large scale using string and chalk.

Students explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture lesson, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students observe photographs...

Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...

Students explore the architecture of New England by identifying geometric shapes.  In this architectural lesson, students examine photographs of classic building architecture and use a transparency to trace geometric shapes they...

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Students explore angles and their use in Geometry. Students investigate three different kinds of angles: obtuse, acute, and right angles through an online activity. They identify pairs of angles with special relationships: vertical,...

Students explore how the International Space Station was built and how it provides first-hand experiences with the space program. They view the NASA engineers discussing the major components of the International Space Station, their...

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Fourth graders examine the use of stem and leaf graphs. In this stem and leaf graph lesson, 4th graders participate in teacher led lesson showing the use of the graphs. They work in groups to collect data about peanuts before making a...

Students practice using compass and calibrate their own pace, take field measurements of pre-set course with compass and pace, convert measurements into map, using angles and vectors, and make composite class map by adjusting different...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

Students identify shapes. For this geometry lesson, students cut out various shapes and create a "Shape Collage Pizza." Students glue their shapes onto a pizza template.

First graders explore patterns in mathematical context. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders inspect patterns shown to them, copy patterns, complete patterns and create patterns of their own. These patterns are shown by actions, drawing,...

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Students practice sampling and graphing techniques. In this data collection and interpretation instructional activity, students write and conduct surveys about chocolate preferences and then collect their data. Students graph the data in...
