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.

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math instructional activity, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

In this math worksheet, students cut out 23 pattern block shapes. The shapes include triangles, diamonds, squares, trapezoids, and hexagons.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of median, mode, and range using a simple model for display purposes. They examine different shaped crackers out of a box and identify the ones that occur the most. Then the calculations for the...

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders identify the number of sides in a shape, discover a pattern, and find the sum of several numbers. Questions relate to objectives covered on the Texas state test. This would be good bell work.

For this art worksheet, students view a picture of Alexander Calder's sculpture "Black, White, and Ten Red." They analyze the sculpture by first finding the "rule" in the Fibonacci sequence. Students read a paragraph about where the...

Sixth graders identify various angles by using pattern blocks. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders find out how many degrees are in each of the different angles of the various pattern blocks.

First graders identify different kinds of lines found in common shapes. They discover ways in which an artist utilizes lines in a painting.

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Students explore patterns in everyday life and in the mathematic world. They create various concrete examples of patterns and verbally describe these patterns to a fellow student.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

In this online math worksheet, students complete a 20 problem multiple choice online interactive worksheet with mixed skills including geometry, rounding, and three digit multiplication.

In this grade 1 math test worksheet, 1st graders complete a 30 question multiple choice quiz covering a variety of grade 1 concepts. 

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math lesson, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

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

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Learners explore patterns. They observe a video, "Math Monsters." Students determine the next item in a sequence. Learners read books about patterns. They discuss patterns in quilts. Students visit a specified web site and design...

Young scholars formulate a definition of tessellations by comparing and contrasting different patterns and shapes of real objects. They discuss the relatioship between shapes and patterns as well as their function in the real world. ...

In this reflections and rotations worksheet, learners reflect and rotate lines in graphs and draw lines of symmetry through patterns. Students complete 24 problems.
