Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

Here are six outstanding art lessons on geometry, line, shape and form, light and shadow, line and pattern, and tessellation for you. Each activity is well-worth implementing with your art students. These lessons would be especially good...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the...

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Pupils figure out how to be resourceful when tasked with finding the area of a triangle knowing nothing but its endpoints. Beginning by exploring and decomposing a triangle, learners find the perimeter and area of a triangle. They...

Human fingerprint patterns are the result of layers of skin growing at different paces, thus causing the layers to pull on each other forming ridges. Here, groups of learners see how patterns and fingerprints assist scientists in a...

Introduce your classes to a new world of mathematics. Pupils learn to call trigonometric ratios by their given names: sine, cosine, and tangent. They find ratios and use known ratios to discover missing sides of similar...

Pattern recognition is a skill often used in mathematics. Learners count and sort manipulatives, organize the data into a graph and answer questions about the information displayed. They collect the objects to be used and create patterns...

Give scholars the gift of knowledge with a present-themed pattern block mat designed to reinforce geometry skills. As they compile the blocks in the correct order to complete patterns, they form a lovely picture of a holiday gift.

Students explore radial symmetry.  In this 3 dimensional art and geometry lesson, students identify examples of radial symmetry in everyday objects. Students create an imprint using radial symmetry on clay tiles.

Make these funky checker board patterns. They will not only add fun decoration to your classroom, but your pupils will be able to practice using simple geometry tools.They will use tools to make lines and circular shapes using a ruler,...

This can be used as a critical thinking exercise in congruence or as a teaching tool when first introducing the concept. Four octagons are arranged in such a way that a square is formed in the middle. With this information, geometry...

Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.

In this pattern worksheet, students enumerate the number of objects that comes next in the sequence including triangles, blocks, and circles. There are 6 questions.

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

Designers in Prague are not diagonally challenged. The mini-assessment provides a complex pattern made from blocks. Individuals use the pattern to find the area and perimeter of the design. To find the perimeter, they use the Pythagorean...

Identifying and verifying reproducible patterns in mathematics is an essential skill. Mathematicians identify the relationship of sides when an angle is bisected in a triangle. Once the pupils determine the relationship, they prove it to...

Greet this resource like an old friend. An interactive has users investigate the number of handshakes required for a group to greet each member. A set of challenge questions ensures that learners have a solid understanding of the...

Don't freeze out the interactive on inequalities from your lesson plans. Young mathematicians use an interactive thermometer and number line to compare freezing temperatures. Inequalities help express these comparisons.

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...

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...
