Piece by Piece
What do your pupils know about quilting? Read and discuss the information included here before sending class members off to create their own quilt blocks using construction paper. When they have completed their blocks, provide some time...
Curated OER
Tessellation Project
Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Sixth Grade Mathematics Test
In this math instructional activity, 6th graders complete multiple choice questions about number sentences, composite numbers, angles, and more. Students complete 30 questions.
Curated OER
Sequence Problem
In this geometric sequence worksheet, students answer one geometric sequence problem. Students determine the sixth number in the given geometric sequence.
Curated OER
Relations
Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math instructional activity, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are...

Spiral Patterns in Art
In 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...
Curated OER
Patterns in Fractals
Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. For this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...
