This activity provides a unique review of clothing and textiles, focusing on sewing. It includes a handy diagram of a sewing machine, which could be useful in a home economics class, and 10 questions.

Learn the importance of geometry to tailors. Given a shirt sewing pattern, scholars determine the actual size of the shirt. After which they answer questions that require problem solving and extending their understanding of scale.

Youngsters explore visual arts by participating in a geometry identification activity. They read the book The Very Busy Spider and identify the techniques spiders use to create webs. Have you ever noticed that their webs are geometric...

Young scholars create a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students review the meaning of symmetry and explore using pattern blocks. Young scholars look for patterns in real quilts, photographs and pictures. Students work independently to...

Fifth graders examine the geometry of quilts. They discuss the history of quilting, design two nine-patch squares, exchange one design on an Internet bulletin board, and construct a hot pad that is quilted.

Students research the history of the quilt in American History and view a PowerPoint Presentation. They create a quilt square with colored paper using polygons, transformations, rotations, and reflections on the computer and on a...

Learn to multiply with decimals. The class reviews multiplying multi-digit whole numbers based off of word problems. Then they learn how to multiply using decimals and practice with money problems.

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

Students investigate how to mix different colors in patterns. They use the patterns in order to design a quilt. Students create a design for one square. They use computer software to display and practice the creation of quilt squares...

In this problem solving strategies worksheet, learners answer a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may click on a link to see correct answers.

Students create handcrafted paper Hawaiian quilt squares. They do this to show the concept of symmetry across two lines of reflection.

Third graders create fractions from concrete materials, then use paper fractions.

In this fractions activity, students solve 10 short answer problems. Students find items around their home and weigh them. Students convert units from one unit to another in the customary system.

Students discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.

In order to practice basic sewing skills, learners must be able to read and use a ruler for a variety of tasks. In this hands-on lesson, students will work collaboratively to demonstrate their mastery of how to read "English" units of...
