By splitting rectangles into four equal parts, scholars practice calculating area and determining side length. They begin by determining the area of each rectangle before segmenting it. Then, they use the space provided to split it into...

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

Students cover a picture with the correct pattern blocks and then sort the blocks into groups of the same shape. They make statements about the patterns blocks using comparison words.

In this early childhood math practice worksheet, students examine 3 patterns and draw the shapes that come next in each. Students also create their own pattern using 2 different shapes and 3 different colors.

Students explore geometry by creating jewelry in class. In this polygons lesson, students identify different shapes and characteristics while creating polygon figures from construction paper. Students utilize a multitude of shapes...

In this interactive instructional activity, 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...

Pupils investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson plan is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding...

Students examine the art form of Mexican paper cutting and discover how to make a pattern. After reading the book "Look What Came From Mexico", they discuss Mexican folk art and view some samples. Individually they create a Mexican...

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson plan, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students discuss lines, shapes, patterns, and colors used in Jun Kaneko's piece Untitled (Dango). In groups, they help make a paper Mache replica and demonstrate their understanding of lines, shapes patterns, and colors by painting their...

In these story problem worksheets, learners read the story problem 'The Case of the Hatcher Hotel Heist' and use the information within the story to help them solve the problem. Students use addition and subtraction to find the next room...

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an exponential...

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Color, shape, and pattern can be found and analyzed in almost any setting, but the context in which they are considered here will help connect art, social studies, and acculturation. Little ones check out the piece Eyedazzler Blanket to...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

Help learners understand that perimeter and circumference are one in the same. Learners apply their skills to determine the perimeter/circumference of triangles, rectangles, and circles. They then use the same strategy to find the...

Learners practice various math skills by using manipulative activities. For this math manipulative lesson, students sort shapes, build hexagons, and build shapes using manipulatives. These activities would be great for parent ed or...

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Students explore a variety of math concepts. In this integrating technology lesson, students visit online webtools such as Max's Math Adventure, I Know That Math, Hands on Banking, and more.  A description of each website is provided.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and shapes.
