Aloha Symmetry

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and more! 

Help your class discover the commutative property of addition with this exploration of the addition table. By folding and coloring the table, a symmetry is found that directs young scholars to an understanding of this crucial...

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...

In this addition without regrouping instructional activity, learners will find the sums of 9 addition problems each on a square of a quilt. Then students will color the squares according to a key.

Students view the Bird of Paradise quilt and observe the design-work in the quilt.  In this counting quilt lesson, students will count to find repeated pictures in the quilt.  Students will represent their families in a quilt square.

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Young scholars explore geometry by creating a quilt square. In this symmetry lesson plan, students identify a list of items, designs, insects and animals which have either rotational or line symmetry. Young scholars investigate...

Creating while learning is great for visual, spacial, and kinesthetic learners. First graders can use the provided quilt squares to construct their very own count by 5 quilt. Each quilt square shows a picture of a hand with a 5s number...

Second graders use symmetry to create their own small quilt squares. They attach all of the squares to create a large class quilt.
