Turn young learners into pattern detectives with this fun hands-on activity. Using the included set of cards showing different block towers, children replicate each pattern with their own manipulatives while...

Students construct patterns with apples. For this mathematical thinking and patterning lesson, students compare and contrast several types of apples. Students complete patterns with a SmartBoard activity, and then draw apple patterns on...

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

Students participate in completing various locomotor skills. In this physical education/literacy lesson, students explore the gym searching for Halloween items to return back to their "home". Additionally, students must be engaged in the...

Students reinforce AB patterns taught in the classroom and practice locomotor movements. They cut out and laminate 20 of each of the following Halloween items: bats, ghosts, Frankenstein faces, spiders, Jack-O¿¿¿-Lanterns, witches...

Students utilize listening skills, singing, movement and rhythm instruments in various combinations to reinforce instructional activity concepts. They develop the ability to identify a steady beat and AB patterns found in a variety...

Explore patterns with your young learners! You can lead your learners through this packet step-by-step, or you can send it home for at-home practice. Consider writing the patterns out on flashcards if you want a more hands-on approach....

In this pattern worksheet, learners color the repeating images. Students then cut out the extra images at the bottom of the worksheet and glue the pieces into the AB patterns.

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. In this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

Students analyze how repeated body movements and shapes can represent and extend patterns. For this pattern analysis lesson, students discuss patterns in dance, math, and everyday living. Students demonstrate a dance using a sequence of...

Learners participate in determining the completion of patterns and discovering which part of the pattern doesn?????™t belong.

Students understand what a pattern is and how to make a pattern. In this pattern lesson, students use cubes to create various patterns. Students recognize the pattern created.

Pupils listen to story Dinosaurs Dancing, use dinosaur counters to identify, copy, create and extend pattern that is repeated at least three times, and complete web lesson.

Students participate in an activity to discover patterns. They make cutouts of bones and decorate them in patterns. They work together in pairs and removes the number of bones they roll on the die. They also practice writing their numbers.

Students see the flag as a symbol. In this flag lesson plan, students look at the flag to see different patterns and shapes. They review the importance of the flag and its meaning to the United States. 

Students produce a drawing of the flag representing their knowledge of its physical characteristics: its rectangle shape, alternating red and white stripes and blue rectangle with stars in the upper corner.

This lesson plan on early patterning is well written, well planned, and extensive. The math content is substantial for this age. There are lots of connections to other content areas. Materials needed are readily available or provided for...

This interactive website offers young students an opportunity to discover the pattern and predict who will come next. Feedback and guidance are given for each response. It also offers three increasingly difficult levels that are available.
