Fractions of a Set
Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Covering Spaces
Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this lesson. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.

Topics in Math
In this consumer mathematics worksheet, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations. The fourteen...

Making Pictures from Smaller Shapes
Young scholars investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.

Lengths, Areas and Shapes - Week 9
In this lengths, areas and shapes worksheet, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...
Curated OER
Transformations
Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing activity, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that...
Curated OER
Shape Capture Game
In this shape capture game learning exercise, 8th graders work in pairs to plot quadrilaterals, then guess ordered pairs for each other's shape in order to locate the vertices on the grid; can be used with other shape as well.
Curated OER
Symmetry and Tessellations
Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...
Curated OER
Peter's String
Students are introduced to the math problem and consider how they could approach it. In pairs, students investigate Peter's conjecture in any way they see fit. They then share their answers with the class.

Math Whom Am I?
In this number recognition worksheet, students read the descriptions of the math terms and try to guess what each term is. Students circle the third letter in the boxes to check their answers.
