Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...

Create a cross-curricular learning experience around a shared reading of Cynthia Rylant's book Snow. From writing poetry and a singing a song about snow, to creating paper snowflakes and solving math story problems, this resource...

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students engage in a...

Pupils discuss ways computers use properties of similar figures to generate scale models and create scenes. they describe patterns they have seen on a fern, pineapple, or pinecone. Students research Benoit mandebrot, H. von Koch and the...

Learners explore animal characteristics by participating in an animal anatomy activity. In this animal tracks activity, students identify the differences between specific animals and the shape of their footprints. Learners utilize a...

This instructional activity introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

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 identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson plan, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.
