Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...

Young scholars examine and decide on a service-learning project to perform. They design and execute posters that advertise the project using geometric shapes.

Students sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Fourth graders review their prior knowledge on the concept of pi. Using broken pieces of pottery, they calculate the circumference from a section of the circle. In teams, they compete against one another to get the most accurate...

Students display knowledge of line of symmetry by designing a geometric stained glass window pattern.

Learners examine patterning in Chinese and Japanese artwork prior to creating their own tessellations using styrofoam plates in this creative cross-curricular lesson for upper-elementary/middle level classrooms.

Fourth graders solve a series of parallel problems. They use statistics, geometrical, and numerical aspects to solve the problem. Students create a pattern that answers the problem.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the lesson, they sketch each shape and identify their...

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Students define a square and connect this information to a square root. In this square root lesson, students make a chart listing square numbers and their roots.

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

Learners complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a PowerPoint/HyperStudio...

Sixth graders examine where mathematics came from. In this Math History lesson plan, 6th graders complete various activities to understand mathematical reasoning. Students complete critical thinking questions.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

In this algebra worksheet, 9th graders calculate the amount of money someone will earn in 30 days, breaking it down to daily. So the first day someone earns 1cent, the second 2 cents et..all the way up to 30 days.

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson plan, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry lesson, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.
