Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".

Students manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.

Fourth graders participate in hands-on activities to introduce them to the concept of symmetry. They make a silly symmetrical picture out of their names after gluing them onto a larger sheet of construction paper. This is a really...

Encourage students to use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to build their own patterns or recreate one from given square arrays.

This project challenges you to figure out how to make geometric patterns with Rubik's Cube. Leaving your cube in one of these positions makes it much more tempting to pick it up and 'fix' it. See if you can determine how different...

In this lesson, students will create a class quilt of nine patch paper quilt blocks using geometry.

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

Students can download pattern block grid paper or cutouts for class activities. Included is an activity comparing the relationships of fractional parts called, "What's My Number?" Links available to other pattern block and fraction...

Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Carpet, a fractal made from subdividing a square into nine smaller squares and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

In this Five E's AMSTI lesson, young scholars discover relationships between shapes. Students discover multiple ways to combine shapes to fill the area of a given shape using real and virtual pattern blocks, and share their solutions...
