In this math literacy worksheet, 1st graders practice finding the shapes for each pattern for the five problems. The worksheet could be adapted for numbers also.

Pupils in a teacher education program enhance their awareness of patterns. They discover how to support their students in developing this skill in mathematical terms. They role play the role of a K-2 student and collect images from...

Students view Elmer Holtzrichter's work Mystery Planet and discuss basic shapes and patterns. They create their own collage. and discuss the patterning they created. Students demonstrate how this pattern would sound with clapping and...

Shape shifters examine and experiment with pattern shapes.  For this geometry lesson, they work in groups to name and describe pattern block shapes, and they discover the combinations of shapes that can be placed inside a hexagon.

Students engage their critical thinking skills to solve challenging math problems. In these problem solving lessons, student work with tessellations, weights/measurement, reasoning, surface area, geometric shapes, and algebraic procedures.

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.

Students explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. In this shape identification lesson plan, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Students...

First graders listen to Shapes and The Greedy Triangle to identify and describe examples of geometric shapes.  In this geometric shapes lesson, look for geometric shapes in real world places.  Students make a mobile of shapes...

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

In this shapes and designs worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they fill in the first two columns of the table show with their shapes. Then, students measure the interior angles of each...

In his making shapes and describing their features learning exercise, students use rectangles to make a hexagon and an octagon. In this drawing learning exercise, students construct a minimum of two patterns.

For this identifying sets of shapes worksheet, students observe eight sets of three shapes and search for them in horizontal or vertical patterns in a grid. Students find 8 sets.

In this visual math puzzle instructional activity, students work in groups to find the answer to 6 math puzzles. They work with geometric shapes and symbols.

Students create patterns with shapes and words. For this patterns and shapes lesson, students recieve an envelope with shapes with words on them. Students make patterns with the shapes that also create a poem. Students can add to the...

Fifth graders recognize shape and number patterns. In groups, 5th graders use strategies to find patterns. They extend the patterns and give explanations as to how they found the pattern. Students use the computer and the hundreds...

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

In this pattern worksheet, students look at patterns and draw missing shapes, total of 5 patterns using squares, circles, triangles and rectangles.

Fifth graders discover lines of symmetry for shapes and everyday objects. In this lines of symmetry activity, 5th graders use a butterfly outline to find lines of symmetry. Students analyze everyday objects for symmetry and use...

In this pattern blocks worksheet, learners cover the given shape with pattern blocks and trace each block in the design. Students make sure the design has the dotted line as a line of symmetry.

Students walk around their neighborhood and school to find objects that remind them of a math concept or vocabulary term. In this real world math lesson, students find math concepts in various familiar locations and take pictures of...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

In this patterns learning exercise, students examine each of five strips of shapes and then decide which of two shapes shown follows the same pattern. Students circle and color the pattern that follows.

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Students listen to a read aloud of Alan Baker's, White Rabbit's Color Book while identifying shapes and lines throughout the book. They use shapes and different types of lines to create a bunny of their own. They must use five shapes to...
