Second graders explore patterns. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders discuss patterns and use manipulatives to create patterns. Students create various patterns.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The activity culminates with students creating their own patterns to use...

Young scholars respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label...

Students classify angles. For this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...

Sixth graders examine and discuss the marquetry ornamentation on an antique bench. They design and create a symmetrically designed jewelry box using marquetry techniques.

Sixth graders compare and contrast storage spaces of the past and present. They examine how furniture tells us how people lived, and work in pairs to design and construct a contemporary wardrobe that fits their personal needs.

In this set of grammar worksheets, students identify sentence fragments, revise run-on sentences and fragments, and combine sentences by inserting words and phrases.

Students study structural elements of a picture's composition. They scan images and compare the structural elements of the images.

Students distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Students practice plotting coordinates on a flat surface or plane. The coordinates can be identified and labeled. An interesting variation of this process is made in the lesson when the position of holes made by thrown darts are plotted.

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...

Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Students use a classification key from a provided worksheet to identify creatures. This task assesses student's abilities to interpret data, make decisions, identify, and classify.
