One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Apply geometry to find the distance as the crow flies. An engaging lesson compares the distance a car must drive to the straight line distance between two locations. Scholars must manipulate a simulation, note the change in distances,...

It is all about the shift. Pupils translate the graph of a cubic function to different marked locations on the plane and determine the new equation that represents the shifts. The activity is designed to encourage individuals begin...

It's okay to get caught with your hand in a virtual cookie jar. Pupils use an interactive to drag cookies from two cookie jars onto a plate. They investigate how an expression representing the number of remaining cookies changes as users...

Eliminate all doubt when it comes to sentence structure with nine thorough lesson plans. Whether you want your young writers to vary their sentence structure or shore up their knowledge of conjunctions and semicolons, these lessons are a...

Students explore geometry by participating in a visual illustration activity. In this pattern identification activity, students explore inside their classroom and discuss patterns they find while tracing them on paper. Students attend an...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Kindergarteners explore various representations and uses of numbers to develop number sense. They participate in an activity and arrange patterns into groups. Students compare the sets and describe the objects in each set.

Snowmen don't have to be three stacked circles! Practice geometry skills with a holiday-themed pattern block mat that features two smiling snowmen.

Help learners find joy in facing mathematical challenges. The questions posed on this learning exercise encourage young mathematicians to utilize skills learned throughout a geometry unit, and to apply themselves and persevere...

Sequences and series are traditionally thought of as topics for the pre-calculus or calculus class, when learners are figuring out how to develop limits. But this unit uses patterns and slopes of linear functions in unique ways...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

Students explore simple patterns.  In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson plan, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns.  Students recite "Hey, Diddle,...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Students examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. For this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Students identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's Triangle.

Students explore tessellations. For this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Challenge scholars to prove the Pythagorean Theorem geometrically by using a cut-and-paste activity. They then must solve for the missing sides of right triangles.

Which gender spends more time playing video games? Your classes use provided data to answer this question. They first build a two-sided stem-and-leaf plot and then use the display to look for patterns. Guiding questions help them...

Mindful middle-schoolers read and solve a number of word problems. Learners copy and discuss what they believe their strategies are in solving each problem. They also write their findings and share with the rest of the class.

Facilitate creativity in your math class as individuals learn the definition of a geometric reflection and correctly construct a model, as well as its reflected image. They use a perpendicular bisector and circles to elaborate on...

Investigate polynomial factoring patterns by finding a connection to volume. As learners build a three-dimensional solid from smaller solids, they convert the visual model to a mathematical expression. Their models represent the sum of...
