Curated OER
More No-Three-In-A-Line
Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it.
After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups.
They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 4, Lesson 22: Authentic Design
Students explore the complexity of handmade quilts and their designs by looking a real life samples.
Curated OER
Ge-Oh Boy, Oh Boy
Young scholars 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.
Curated OER
Geo-Folder
Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.
Curated OER
Origami Frogs
Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.
Curated OER
Flying Geese
Students examine the Flying Geese quilt pattern, and discuss and identify the pattern. They write a paragraph titled, My Quilt Report, summarizing the information discussed about the quilt patterns.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 7, Lesson 36: DeSign Sampler
Second graders, in groups, write quilt reports.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 7, Lesson 37: Summarizing for the Summative
Students listen for specific information during summary presentations. They practice giving feedback on given topic according to a set of standards. The speaker reports to the rest of class from a report and listeners determine if...
Curated OER
Fitness
Fourth graders determine how to design regular and semi-regular tessellations of the plane. They develop the ability to demonstrate why a tessellation covers the plane in this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Strawberry Milk
Students work in groups or alone to solve the problem. They use a systematic approach to get all possible answers. They report back to the class with solutions. They may extend their studying using a crate with room for 9 bottles.
Curated OER
Triangle Sums
Fourth graders determine a way to place numbers in the nine circles that are arranged in a triangular pattern so that each side has an equal sum. They use each number once and practice adding single digit numbers.
Curated OER
The Delta Flier
Students make calculations in order to construct a kite in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. For this kite lesson students calculate altitude of their flying kites using a formula.
Curated OER
Spice Up the Basal
Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.
Curated OER
ART- LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLS
Students discuss how color construct meaning in art. They will demonstrate a technical knowledge and creative use of formal elements and principals of design. Students then discuss the way their selection of color contributed to their work.
