This geometry and measurement worksheet, ‘Geometric Patterns’ allows for practice recognising and using geometric patterns. Answer sheet provided with file download.
In this hands-on activity, ‘Pattern Play’, students use pattern blocks to create various two-dimensional shapes, including arrows, pentagons, and octagons. Students then create their own shape and ask a classmate to copy it. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and further exploration.
In the learning activity, ‘Shapely Sea Creatures’ students identify and describe the geometric shapes formed by the bodies of different sea creatures. This activity helps students relate the language of geometry to familiar or everyday objects. An answer sheet is provided and includes accompanying teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and further exploration.
In this learning activity, ‘Tricky Triangles’, students study a tapa cloth design based on tessellations of triangles. Students then use squares or triangles to create their own pattern for a carry bag. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and further exploration.
In ‘Planning Paths’, students calculate the numbers of two kinds of tiles needed to build paths of different lengths. The learning activity helps students to explore patterns that have repeated spatial sequences, and to create their own patterns. An answer sheet is provided and includes comprehensive teaching notes for supporting learning and further exploration.
It�s that easy!
