Students explore the concept of finding area. In this finding area lesson, students use knowledge of area of triangles to find area of squares and rectangles. Students find area of irregular figures by breaking the figure down into...

In this triangles and quadrilaterals worksheet, learners solve 7 short answer problems. Students find objects around the house that are constructed from triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles. Learners sketch the...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to complete patterns, puzzle, and area centers. For this pattern blocks lesson plan, 4th graders also demonstrate fractions and use the SMART Board with their pattern blocks.

Fifth graders explore history of mosaics, and create their own.

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area and perimeters of various quadrilaterals and triangles.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students make mosaics out of clay using the techniques of Keith Haring. In this mosaics lesson plan, students use clay, glaze, plywood, cement, grout, and sealant.

Students discover building plans and practice reading measurements.  In this architectural design lesson, students investigate the areas of the specific World Trade Center locations that need to be rebuilt and determine the cost....

Students develop an understanding and enjoyment of math concepts and cultural awareness by working with tangrams.

This instructional activity will teach the students about how Mosaics are made and how they have been used in the past history and in modern times. Students will construct their own paper mosaics.

Students combine the visual arts and technology with mathematics in the creation of these beautiful t-shirts. They view examples of the work of artist M.C. Escher.

If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

Eighth graders are presented with a tile pattern showing an apparent square surrounded by four octagons. They are asked to answer a question about congruency and angle measurements, as well as prove that the interior shape is really a...

Build a "floor tile" by dragging the corners of a quadrilateral. Learn about tessellation of quadrilateral figures when the shape you built is tiled over an area.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students are asked to partition a shape into rectangles and add their areas together to get the area of the whole figure. Includes video...

Explore the literature connections, online activity, pencil and paper activity, and the manipulative investigation of patterns and geometric shapes on this page!

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A video and practice questions where students are presented with one or more smaller rectangles within a larger one. They must calculate the area of the larger...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Fun game involving designing a football path around the high school using pentagons and hexagons.

Create shapes using colorful blocks, and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....
