Relationships Round Robin
Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.
Curated OER
Patterns and Sequence
Sixth graders explore patterns and sequencing. As a class, they name numbers that fit in a pattern. Students use pattern blocks to construct and identify patterns. They use a calculator to create input and output functions.

Grandfather Tang's Story
It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...
Curated OER
Symmetry in Relief
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.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry and Rotational Symmetry
Fifth graders investigate the symmetry of pattern block shapes. Students, working in groups determine whether each shape has line symmetry, rotational symmetry or both kinds of symmetry. Students determine how many lines of symmetry the...
Curated OER
Math-Geometry: Area and Perimeter
Upper graders measure the area and perimeter of several items. In this area and perimeter lesson, learners engage in measuring area and perimeter in several scenarios. Full-group instruction requires students to listen to instruction and...
Curated OER
Data Lesson Vital Information
Students prepare and collect data and use excel and create a graph. They collect data about the number of pattern blocks that are put on tables. Students then record that data in Excel.
Curated OER
Fantastic Fractions
Fourth graders work with fractions using hands on experiences and reasoning skills and use fractions to communicate the idea of a part of a whole.
Curated OER
Printing Border Patterns
Students design printing blocks with patterns cut with scissors and/or Speedball Linozip Cutters. They print colorful repeating, alternating or tessellating pattern designs of difficulty appropriate for their age level.
