For this seal worksheet, students match deratives and intervals to their answer.  They match equivalent problems.  This one-page worksheet contains 22 problems.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

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

Third graders read Ann Tompert's book, Grandfather Tang's Story, and complete math word problems based on the story. In this word problems lesson plan, 3rd graders use tangrams in the word problems.

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students examine the Flying Geese quilt pattern, and discuss and identify the pattern. They write a paragraph titled, My Quilt Report, summarizing the information discussed about the quilt patterns.

Fourth graders participate in what is considered to be a model instructional activity. The instructional activity focuses upon polygons and basic geometry. The instructional activity addresses national standards and displays how others...

Students study techniques used for solving integrals. Using tangrams and hands-on activities, students perform basic integration techniques. They use artistic skills and real-world applications to discover more complex methods of...

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Students study polygons. In this math lesson, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

Students explore language arts by participating in a shape identification activity. In this geometry shape lesson, students discuss the vocabulary terms used to describe the location of an object. Students complete a worksheet based upon...

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

Students create their own Chinese tangrams using in-class direction and prior knowledge in this two-day lesson for the early elementary classroom. Chinese toys are also explored.

Fourth graders design a figure using the given geometric shapes from a set of tangrams. They manipulate common shapes to analyze and make new figures. They complete a worksheet associated with the lesson.

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Students use their classroom to look for various types of shapes. In their science journals, they record the shapes they find and identify those that can be used to solve problems or build structures. They share and post their sketches...

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Students use numbers as descriptors. In this mathematical inquiry lesson, students use numbers to describe, classify, and compare plants. Students are made aware that numbers can be used to describe things in the world around them.

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Help your young scholars explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Students investigate place value and decimals during baseball related activities. In this place value lesson, students explore place value with decimals. Resources are included.

First graders explore eight geometry activities that improve understanding of positional words and shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They help another student who may not understand the concept yet.
