Math Quilts
Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...
Curated OER
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.
Curated OER
An Introduction to Quadrilaterals
Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.
Curated OER
You Can Count on Squares!
Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...
