Learners create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Learners design and create their own tessellation.

Students identify various patterns. In this patterns activity, students assemble paper flowers by using patterns. Students discuss how they constructed their flower.

Students create friendship bracelets using a circular pattern. In this friendship lesson, students use visual aides such as Kidspiration and use a problem solving method to learn more each other.

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

Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the instructional activity which...

Students use their fine motor skills to create a pattern of one-hundred fruit cereal O's using the concept of counting by tens in order to create a one-hundredth day of school necklace.

Students analyze optical illusions from the packets, both individually and as a class. They create an original optical illusion design using pattern and repetition. They determine which color needs to be in the pattern.

Seventh graders relate patterns with higher math. In this 7th grade math lesson, 7th graders analyze different methods of portraying data. They relate the data to real life scenarios.      

First graders identify, create, and label simple patterns.

First graders read the story "The Little House" and discuss changing patterns and then create a seasonal mandala using a paper plate and crayons.

First graders make an "ABB" pattern from macaroni they dyed in a previous lesson. They follow the pattern as they string the macaroni to make a necklace. This lesson is a nice math/social studies tie in.

Second graders design and construct homes for the three pigs. Each of the homes is made and filled with patterns that we explore. They continue a sequential pattern and describe a rule for this.

Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. In this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.

Students are presented with the following problem: A cracker manufacturer has been losing money and has to find a way to save her factory. They are given the task to design a new shape for the cracker manufacturer so that as little...

In this tessellation learning exercise, middle schoolers explore tessellations and create a pattern without overlaps or spaces. After creating the tessellation, they color the shapes. This one-page learning exercise contains dot paper...

Learners develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

Students discuss ways computers use properties of similar figures to generate scale models and create scenes. they describe patterns they have seen on a fern, pineapple, or pinecone. Students research Benoit mandebrot, H. von Koch and...

Second graders count by 2's to get to 100. For this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders use the program Kid Pix to create stamps two at a time until they get to 100.

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Learners practice skip counting. In this skip counting activity, students practice skip counting using hundreds boards and patterns. Learners complete several examples and problems to ensure their understanding. 

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

Students explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Students identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Students review what a pattern is and they create a pattern on a fish. They are reminded that patterns do not change halfway through and they paint over it with watercolor paints. They display their fish on the walls.

In this pattern block symmetry instructional activity, students analyze one half of a snowflake design. Students cover the design with pattern blocks and complete the design so that the dotted line is a line of symmetry.
