Fourth graders use square tiles to help them explain the concept of square numbers.

Students participate in monthly scaffolded lessons that focus on working with whole numbers from 1 to 10. They work with tiles on exploration mats, number tile mats, and a number representation book. Each month they complete activities...

In this problem solving strategy worksheet, learners complete a graphic organizer to help solve a problem. Students complete 4 sections: understand, plan, solve and look back. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

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...

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

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

First graders use patterns in order to identify and recognize even and odd numbers.

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,...

In this math literacy worksheet, 4th graders solve the five problems to review basic skills for the fourth grade focusing on the concepts of basic geometry and number sense.

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.

Fifth graders use the guess and check technique to solve a problem involving transformations. They work with a grid and criteria provided by the teacher to solve a sequence with black and white rows.

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson plan involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson plan.

Students experiment with reflections of two plane mirrors placed at a 90 degree angle to see what will be reflected.

Middle and high schoolers determine the probability of dependent events. Students compute both compound and simple probability. This four-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

In this polynominoes worksheet, learners solve 9 different types of polynominoes problems. First, they identify that a polynominoe is a polygon made from squares of the same size and connected to each square. Then, students determine how...

In this designing a square patio worksheet, 10th graders solve 5 different word problems related to designing this patio. First, they use quadrille paper to make a few models such as a patio of side 1 foot. Then, students describe their...

On this area and perimeter worksheet, designers use a diagram of a Koi pool with its surrounding walkway surrounding and the appropriate mathematical formulas to solve a set of four word problems. An answer key follows the worksheet.

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square. 

Taking the notion of symmetry to the next level, this looks at combining rotation and translation symmetry to build spiral symmetry in three dimensions. Using the Zome modeling system and an instructor’s guidance, geometers try to build...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.
