Students watch video segments on shapes and patterns. They create their own pattern within shapes.

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...

Students practice using visuals to solve math problems. In this math manipulative lesson, students utilize pattern blocks to participate in a class game in which geometric shapes touch other player's pieces. Students gain points based on...

Learners brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

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.

Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Second graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this shape identification lesson, 2nd graders view the characteristics for several different geometric shapes and create them using building blocks and other classroom...

Students use fruit counters. In this patterns lesson, students identify different fruits, sort the fruits by color, shape and size, and make a pattern using the fruits.

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Pupils make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.

Students explore geometry by creating jewelry in class. In this polygons lesson, students identify different shapes and characteristics while creating polygon figures from construction paper. Students utilize a multitude of shapes...

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Sixth graders explore different geographic relationships in like drawing lines, rays, and parallelograms. This instructional activity could be used for review because it covers more than one concept. The students should have prior...

Students identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.

Second graders view clips from the animated series Math Monsters, and discuss the many ways patterns can be found in the world around us. Following the video portion of the lesson, 2nd graders visit a variety of Web sites to assess their...
