Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Students use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Learners create wrapping clothes using paper or cloth scraps being sure to find or make geometric shapes. They create a visually balanced composition including symmetry,and repeated patterns.

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

In this secondary mathematics activity, students solve problems that involve patterns, arithmetic and geometric sequences, geometric logic and reasoning, and changing bases.  The three page activity contains fourteen problems. ...

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

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...

Learners explore polygons. In this geometry skills instructional activity, students complete an activity that requires them to solve geometry problems that involve polygons as they piece together geometric shapes. Learners analyze the...

Students 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.
