Polygon Quilt

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

Young scholars 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.

Create a class quilt in this geometry lesson plan. Learners measure and cut out polygons from felt or graph paper and put the squares together to form a class quilt.  They need to use knowledge of fractions, scale, polygons, and area to...

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

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 complete a quilt square following a predetermined color key and identify geometric shapes during individual construction and during class assembly. They also identify and project patterns created.

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

Learners 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.

In this quilt block worksheet, students color the squares and triangles inside a quilt block. Students color 4 squares and 16 triangles.
