Young scholars 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...

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry instructional activity, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by...

Young scholars 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. Young scholars then discuss the story Rainbow Fish: The Copycat Fish,...

Learners create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Learners create their own mandalas...

In this math learning exercise, 2nd graders complete multiple choice questions about patterns, shapes, fractions, and more. Students complete 15 questions.

Students explore geometric shapes and patterns. They view the provided paper display of a quilt to identify geometric figures it contains. Afterwards, they draw and color their own quilt on a activity sheet.

Students explore making patterns. In this patterns lesson, students make patterns from the groups they are put in. Students can use items from around the room to make their patterns

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Second graders use shapes to create various fractions.  In this fractions lesson plan, 2nd graders define a fraction, visit a website where they make fractions using various shapes, and use a fraction square set to create and name...

Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

Students explore tessellations and the artwork of M.C. Escher. They view and discuss a video about M.C. Escher, create a slide template out of cardboard, and create a poster with their tessellation pattern.

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Your class will participate in a series of math vocabulary activities to learn about parallel lines. They find people using a math list and connect math words in the context of sentences. They also read the math words in the example...

Students create their own math practice book. In these homemade book lessons, students create their own counting, number, and shape pages. When the pages are complete, they are bound together in a book.

For this math patterns activity, students identify the shapes in each pattern and then select the shape that comes next in the pattern. Students find 3 patterns.

In this math patterns worksheet, learners identify the shapes in the 3 problems. Students then select the shape that comes next in the pattern.

In this pattern worksheet, students learn to make patterns by studying the pattern given and answer questions about what they understand, how they plan to find the pattern, then solve, and finally look back.

For this pattern worksheet, students select the shape that comes next in a pattern from a choice of 3, 5 rows of shapes total. Worksheet is labeled as a sample from a subscription site.

In this pattern worksheet, learners select the shape that comes next in the pattern, choosing from 2 options. Worksheet is labeled as a sample from a subscription site.

Fifth graders explore patterns. In groups, 5th graders participate in a "Pasta Pattern" activity. Given a bag of pasta, classmates sort pasta by shapes. They use pasta pieces to model different patterns. Students complete a bean...

Students make patterns. In this early sequencing instructional activity, students observe and state a pattern when they see one. The teacher begins be using students to demonstrate a pattern with half of the children standing and every...
