More work with shapes: In the second lesson in a multi-part unit, students continue to explore geometric concepts by modeling on the geoboard. After assessing prior knowledge, the teacher engages students in a discussion about common properties among the figures they create....

How many triangles can you construct?: Students identify patterns in a geometrical figure (based on triangles) and build a foundation for the understanding of fractals. Illuminations provides activity sheets and detailed instructions for completing the lesson. Students will: ... (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 4–6 Mathematics); Provided by: Illuminations

Covering the plane with rep-tiles: In this lesson from Illuminations, students discover and explore a special kind of tiling of the plane. Rep-tiles are geometric figures such that n copies can fit together to form a larger, similar figure. Students experiment with various shapes and values...
