After comparing earthquake and volcanic hazards to one another, fifth graders take a closer look at damage associated with a volcanic eruption. They then create a simulation of mudslides due to a volcanic eruption. Using different...

Young scholars create a spring egg using a repeating pattern.

First graders explore biology patterns by creating a model insect. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders utilize snap cubes and pattern blocks to recreate their own version of a centipede or caterpillar. Students create their caterpillars...

Students identify and form a pattern out of 2-D shapes, then transfer this pattern into creating placemats.

Students practice identifying, creating and labeling simple patterns. They recreate patterns in used in Stuart Murphy's book, Beep, Beep, Vroom, Vroom.

Students create an leaf print banner, and classify, sort and find patterns in the leaves as they work.

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

Young scholars discuss lines, shapes, patterns, and colors used in Jun Kaneko's piece Untitled (Dango). In groups, they help make a paper Mache replica and demonstrate their understanding of lines, shapes patterns, and colors by painting...

Students access a website to examine how to follow a pattern. They find their own heartbeats and tap along with the beat. They access a second website to design a class composition before showing how they keep the beat. They use...

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

Students integrate the language, concepts and skills of math into the daily routine and classroom environment. They think mathematically by participating in short, daily, individual, small group, whole group and transitional activities...

In this tessellating a hexagon worksheet, 10th graders complete 2 activities in creating a tessellation of a hexagon. They start off with the tessellation by the smallest pattern block and obtain other tessellations by replacing each two...

Students create leaf print banner for parents' night. They sort, classify, and pattern the leaves as they work.

Fourth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  For this fourth grade math lesson, 4th graders create charts, tables, or diagrams to represent patterns and relations.  Students investigate which dart length has...

Geometers investigate patterns and symmetry, and examine the artwork of M.C. Escher on the Internet. They compare his style to the floor and ceiling tiles in the classroom. If you have ImageBlender™ software, you could have your...

Students create paper quilts of their own using the isometric grid that tessellates the plane or the fraction quilt square.

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

Fifth graders, with a partner, create tessellation patterns by playing 10 by 10 Tessellations. They need to use critical thinking skills to decide if pattern block plane figures tessellate and how each block best fits into the pattern.

Students develop algebraic equations to solve problems involving farm animals. They watch a video, use manipulatives to determine the number of birds and pigs on the farm, and create original problems for their classmates to solve.

Students calculate the mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time and costs for a vacation. They conduct a virtual field trip, and create a comparison graph of costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students design original radial art designs.In this radial design lesson, students use compasses and a nature inspired idea to create radial art. Students understand the use of symmetry, balance and design shapes in continual patterns....

Seventh graders identify the use of a function.They are asked to describe the input and output of a function. Students also identify different aspects of the coordinate system and represent functions in a visual graph.

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.
