Students explore number sense by completing a number set worksheet. In this fractions lesson, students utilize pattern blocks as a visual reference to the fractions they practice identifying. Students read the book Clean-Sweep Campers...

Students classify objects that are similar by one attribute. They explain what a pattern is and how to make a pattern using objects.

Learners look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Pupils investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals hung in...

Students analyze relating a model to an algebraic equation and visa versa. Patterns are reviewed in detail and then in pairs new models are created and then translated into a word problem or equation. They illustrate their models on...

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

Learners explore the concept of copying one another. In this early childhood lesson plan, students discuss what a copycat is and why people copy one another. Learners then discuss the story Rainbow Fish: The Copycat Fish, recording...

Learners identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

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

In this patterns and sequences worksheet, students determine the color of the houses in a row by using the specific color options but never making the houses the same pattern.

Students design a geometric garden. Shapes to be included are squares, triangles, and hexagons. After reading a book together about shapes, students get to use construction paper to cut out and design their own shape garden.

Learners engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Learners investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.

Students participate in a lab experiment in which they discover the need for so many blocks and tackles on sailing ships. In groups, they make and test their predictions and practice measuring objects in various units. They record and...

In this number recognition worksheet, students place pattern blocks on the pictures in each example. Students then count the blocks and write the number counted on the line.

Learners demonstrate their knowledge pictorially, concretely, and abstractly in this unit meant to last three hours over three days. Using hands-on activities, manipulatives,  real-world applications, and problem...

Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

Students describe Frieze designs using the work of indigenous people.  In this math lesson, students create 7 frieze designs using different patterns.  They create one row of repeated art and repeat this 7 times over...

Students study quilts. In this history/geometry quilt lesson, students discover the history behind quilt making and get a chance to make quilt blocks of their own. They work independently to make a quilt block out of construction paper...

In this early childhood math practice learning exercise, students examine 3 shapes and then select the blocks that they would use to build a similar shape.

Students add and subtract fractions and multiply and divide fractions using pattern blocks.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.
