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 create a quilt-like fabric swatches using Crayograph crayons, emery paper and rubbing plates.

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Students use fruit counters. For this patterns lesson, students identify different fruits, sort the fruits by color, shape and size, and make a pattern using the fruits.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Young scholars 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. Young scholars identify the different types of polygons and define...

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.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Learners investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Learners identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Pupils create a poster showing how two different cultures strive for beauty.

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry lesson plan, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Fourth graders investigate ecosystems. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders explore producers, consumers, and decomposers and study the interdependence of each.

Young scholars investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

In this multiplication of vectors worksheet, students prove that the dot product operation is commutative. They normalize a vector so it has the same direction with a magnitude of one. Students use the angle formula to confirm...

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

Students become familiar with the style of architecture of medieval times.  For this architecture lesson, students design a model of a medieval castle including its cornerstone. Students understand scale in their representation.

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Students analyze and classify sets of pictures using a mathematical classification system and create original works of Art Deco tiles using this new knowledge and four types of symmetry.

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Students identify four different African cloth design styles and associate them with the cultures examined in this lesson. The lesson also includes a creative project where each student creates their own cloth design.
