Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.

Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.

Second graders view clips from the animated series Math Monsters, and discuss the many ways patterns can be found in the world around us. Following the video portion of the lesson, 2nd graders visit a variety of Web sites to assess their...

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 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.

Students 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. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

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

Students 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...

Students 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.

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, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson plan, 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. In this algebra lesson plan, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the...

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...

Young scholars identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.

Sixth graders draw parallel and intersecting lines to observe and examine the characteristics of alternate interior angles, vertical angles, corresponding angles, and supplementary angles. Through observation, they discover the...

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...
