Students explore printmaking which began with the ancient Chinese who carved seals from stone, inked them and used the seals as identification symbols. They produce a print in this lesson.

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.

Second graders examine the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders play a game in order to identify two-dimensional shapes and to name them.

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Students weave construction paper to create a placemat that displays a pattern.

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

Students identify different shapes by using music. They use the shape in a song which follows the Hokey Pokey music. They participate in the song using different shapes.

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

Students in a teacher education program enhance their awareness of patterns. They discover how to support their students in developing this skill in mathematical terms. They role play the role of a K-2 student and collect images from...

Third graders are introduced to the meanings of the concepts slides, turns, and flips in how they relate to Geometry. As a class, they use their bodies to demonstrate how each term should look like. To end the lesson plan, they apply...

Young scholars explore how math is relevant to Native Americans. Students investigate Indian culture through geometry. They describe and create geometric polygons and patterns. Young scholars problem solve with tangram patterns to make...

Students analyze the relationship between the number of sides of a polygon and the sum of its angles. Pattern blocks are utilized to trace the outside of the shapes. They make their own outline of a four-sided polygon from the replica of...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

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...

Youngsters recognize that triangles can be combined together to make various shapes. The learning activity provides a series of seven steps that engage children in applying transformations to triangles. Pupils use a quilt template and...

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

After a quick study of Native American art, symbolism, and pattern design children make a ceramic vase. They read about the use, production, and design of Native American vases or pots, then use clay to create one of their own. Tip:...

For this quilt patterns worksheet, 2nd graders analyze the pattern in two rows of 12 shapes. Students continue the pattern in the empty grid to complete the quilt design.

After introducing the concept and formula for finding the area of a square, try this lesson. Fifth graders will use their prior knowledge to break apart various shapes in order to determine area. This lesson includes several examples,...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square.
