Fifth graders practice, with spreadsheets, to demonstrate how to determine the number of tiles needed to create a patio. They use pictures and gathered data to determine a pattern that can be used to solve problems. Students create a...

Students examine how Islamic artists represented their beliefs in logic and order through the geometric patterns in their art works. They analyze star patterns in Middle Eastern designs, and create geometric patterns using geometric shapes.

Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

Learners examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Young scholars explore the concept of multiplication by using pizza. They read an article discussing how math is used everyday. They try to determine how many pizzas they would need to feed the class.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

Students create a collect data on expenses. In this algebra lesson plan, students create a spreadsheet to solve scientific equations. They incorporate math, science and technology in this lesson plan.

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry activity, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.

Students solve integers using addition. In this algebra lesson, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students will construct simple curves on graph paper by connecting a series of points between the vertical and horizontal axes. They share their designs and explain the patterns.

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.

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 determine the ratio of pairs of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci Sequence. Using four different colors, they create a golden rectangle in either two or three dimensions. They use photographs to create two collages using...

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Students explore math problem solving strategies while reading a nursery rhyme. In this addition lesson, students learn math skills such as solving simple equations, graphing data and extending patterns while reading The Three Little...

Students complete T charts and manipulate numbers using graphs and charts. In this math graphs and charts lesson plan, students review the concepts of pattern and function. Students then complete practice pages where they manipulate...

Students create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. In this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.

Pupils play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.
