Students make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

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

Students examine the concepts of geometry used by Paul Goble in his book Adopted By The Eagles. After analyzing Mr. Goble's work they create an original piece featuring symmetry, pattern, repetition, and other principles of geometry....

Elementary learners discover counting through a counting chart. In this math lesson, students identify numbers 1-100. They then point or recite their counting numbers.

In this creative music activity from Scientific American, students learn about musical notation and then design their own notations. Great web resource links are alsp provided

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Students demonstrate their comprehension of shapes and their properties. They work in small groups. Students review the following terms: property, polygon, quadrilateral, and parallelogram. They read Shape Up! Fun With Triangles and...

Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry while reviewing...

Second graders engage in a lesson which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Second graders observe and design manipulatives showing fractional parts.  In this fractional part lesson, 2nd graders create a paper hamburger using circle fractions.  Students navigate a website to find fractional parts of a...

Learners identify and create angles. In this angle measurement lesson, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students identify a tangram. In this geometry lesson, students read Grandfather Tang's Story and retell each story using the tangrams on a flannel board. Students use tangrams to complete an included worksheet.

Little ones identify the US quarter and explore the concept of one-fourth or one-quarter. Using real coins or coin manipulatives, they divide a square piece of paper into quarters, discuss halves and quarters, and create a design that...

Ninth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this element instructional activity, 9th graders observe the chemical reactivity of elements. They graph the properties and discuss the trend in the group and period of elements. The students...

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

For this multiplication worksheet, students use the provided lines to write the '3' times tables going up to 3 x 12. Students identify the pattern they see.

Students explore how the sense of hearing helps us learn from each other through communication. Sound can produce patterns.

Students explore the migratory patterns of four different animals. Reasons for the migration and migratory distances are investigated in this lesson plan.

High school students examine their own water-based environments, within the Mystic Watershed. As the learners engage in inquiry-based, hands-on projects, critical thinking skills and problem-solving, the project will lead them to cross...

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

First graders listen to Shapes and The Greedy Triangle to identify and describe examples of geometric shapes.  For this geometric shapes lesson, look for geometric shapes in real world places.  Students make a mobile of shapes...

Students identify different kinds of lines in art and nature. They use continuous, curved line to create a drawing.
