In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

In this shapes instructional activity, students fill in the blanks for the missing shapes in the patterns. Students fill in 6 missing shapes.

Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

Students create and extend patterns. In this pattern instructional activity, students learn to identify patterns using multiple senses. Students work at centers in small groups to explore and extend their understanding of patterns.

Students create books about shapes.  In this shape lesson, students select a topic such as points, lines, angles, planes, polygons, quadrilaterals, triangles, circles, and polyhedra.  In groups, they create an illustrated...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Students solve pentomino puzzles.  In this problem solving lesson, students discuss how pentomino puzzles play into the plot of Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett and practice solving a pentomino puzzle on their own....

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this instructional activity has as much to do with...

Students determine patterns. For this mathematics lesson, students act out a skit, play a sequence game, and complete patterns. Students use problems solving skills.

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

For this patterns practice worksheet, students study the 5 shape patterns sets. Students identify the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

In this patterns practice worksheet, students study the 21 shape patterns sets. Students identify the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

In this patterning learning exercise, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

For this patterning worksheet, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

In this patterning worksheet, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

For this patterns worksheet, students look at 4 rows of shape patterns and fill in the 2 empty spots in each row with the correct shape to complete each pattern. A good visual learning worksheet for young students.

In this patterns practice worksheet, students study the 15 shape patterns sets. Students draw the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

In this complete the patterns worksheet, students examine 3 rows of shape patterns and then identify the shape should come next in each row.

In this complete the patterns worksheet, students examine 4 rows of shape patterns and then fill in the blanks in each row with the correct shapes.

In this pattern worksheet, students view five different patterns and complete the missing object for each pattern. The patterns consist of stars, hearts, and shapes.

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  For this perimeter lesson, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

In this using pattern blocks to create a design worksheet, students read and apply criteria to create a design with pattern blocks, trace it, and draw lines of symmetry. Students complete four pattern block activities.

In this shape patterns worksheet, students study the patterns of shape and draw the shapes that finish the pattern. Students use a red or blue crayon to make a color pattern and explain how they knew what shape came next in the pattern.
