Geometric Patterns Teacher Resources

Students consider the patterns that emerge from agent models and geometric fractals.

The student will investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric properties.

Examine the principles of geometric design that are the basis for the beautiful and intricate patterns in the art of the Islamic world.

Students will investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships and apply the definition of similarity, in terms of a dilation, to identify similar figures and their proportional sides and congruent corresponding...

Students will distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems and investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships.

How can you describe the pattern made by a growing triangular shape? This interactive exercise focuses on using what you know about pattern recognition and completing a table so you have data you can use to graph the coordinates on a...

A dictionary entry for Islam and Islamic art with numerous illustrations of representative works in all media, including architecture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and manuscripts. Includes useful cross-references to related terms and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognize and describe visual or geometric patterns.

Gain an understanding of geometric sequences and series by viewing examples and a video lesson. [1:46]

This lesson demonstrates how to calculate the terms needed to plug into a basic geometric sequence. It is 2 of 10 in the series titled "Finding a Geometric Formula."

This lesson demonstrates how to calculate the terms needed to plug into a basic geometric sequence. It is 8 of 10 in the series titled "Finding a Geometric Formula."

This lesson walks you through how to find any term in a geometric sequence when given a common ratio and an individual term. It is 6 of 10 in the series titled "Finding the Nth Term Geometric."

Eighth graders are presented with a pattern of octagon tiles. They are asked to answer questions about angle measures and hexagonal arrangements. Aligns with 8.G.A.5.

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...

Find out how quilting and math go hand in hand when you visit this comprehensive resource. This resource provides a lesson plan for integrating geometry concepts with quilt making.

Students can download pattern block grid paper or cutouts for class activities. Included is an activity comparing the relationships of fractional parts called, "What's My Number?" Links available to other pattern block and fraction...

The algebra resource examines arithmetic, geometric, and exponential patterns. Students learn about the math concepts through notes, examples, and practice exercises.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometric and numerical patterns to identify and continue a pattern.

Students will build, extend, describe, predict, graph and generate rules for patterns and functions designed to help students understand the connection between geometric and numerical patterns (younger students) as well as between...

This lesson focuses on tessellations, a tessellation is a geometric pattern that covers a surface without gaps or overlaps. They can be seen everywhere in nature such as a honeycomb or a tortoise shell.

Encourage students to use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to build their own patterns or recreate one from given square arrays.

Students use pattern shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and...

This lesson demonstrates how to calculate the terms needed to plug into a basic geometric sequence. It is 5 of 10 in the series titled "Finding a Geometric Formula."
