Polygon Quilt

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson plan, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

In this geometry worksheet, students examine a group of polygons and then answer 3 fill in the blank questions where they are asked to identify polygons. Then students are asked to create a design using some of the polygons.

Work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers! Upper graders are give some 2" by" and some "2 by with a tail" shapes to small groups. They identify some examples of shapes that represent odd...

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...

Fourth graders practice calculating area by creating a classroom quilt. Students are given a 6x6 inch square material they design based on a classroom theme. A sample of the class quilt is created using graph paper so students may...

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Pupils identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students engage in a lesson about polygons while creating a mosaic pattern. They concentrate upon creating a pattern that is geometric and has the look of a quilt design. The lesson includes steps to complete the project and helpful hints.

Students make a quilt. In this geometry instructional activity, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then...
