Sequential Pattern Teacher Resources

Students make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

Second graders design and construct homes for the three pigs. Each of the homes is made and filled with patterns that we explore. They continue a sequential pattern and describe a rule for this.

In this number patterns worksheet, students write the next 3 terms in sets of sequential patterns. A website reference for additional resources and an answer key are provided.

In this number patterns instructional activity, students write the next three terms in a set of sequential patterns. A website reference for additional resources and answer key are provided.

In this negative number worksheet, students fill in the blank with the missing negative number in a pattern, missing numbers occur in various places in the sequential pattern.

Third graders explore the use of cups and counters as a model to analyze the effects of operations. They create and use a rule to create a sequential pattern and use cups and cubes to model the relationship.

Second graders investigate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They discuss the characteristics of the triangle. Students create sequential patterns and describe the rule for their pattern.

Students continue a sequential pattern using a partially filled in table and simple addition exercise. They use problem solving strategies such as guess and check, make a table, look for patterns. They discuss their finding with the class.

Did you know you can send a message using only zeroes and ones? This interactive resource presents an introduction to binary numbers. Through code cards, pupils learn to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers.

Neil Gaiman's award winning children's fantasy novel, The Graveyard Book, is the focus of a literary analysis overview. Those new to the novel can decide whether the book is appropriate for whole-class discussion or as a book circle...

Students are introduced to the notion of a repeating pattern. This is done by a number of means including the use of everyday objects. They are encouraged to create, describe and continue patterns.

First graders use simple vegetable cut out and colored paper flower peddles to make simple patterns. They start out with a simple 2-element patterns around the theme of a daisy and increase in difficulty.

Third graders investigate patterns made using matchsticks and tiles, so it involves them in active studying. The relation between the number of the term of a pattern and the number of matchsticks (tiles) that that tem has is explored...

Young scholars complete a series of lessons involving Tukutuku patterns, their rotations and area formulae. They determine the algebraic formulae for sequences. They use images as they work through the lessons to find the number of...

Second graders use black and red construction paper to symbolize different one digit numbers that add up to 10. In this sums to 10 lesson plan, 2nd graders discover different combinations and patterns that can lead them to the number 10.

Second graders explore and solve an algebraic word problem. They listen to a poem about pirates, describe the word problem in their own words, and independently solve the problem using colored rods to represent the pirates and treasure...

Second graders look at the number patterns created when cans are stacked in different arrangements. The aim of the unit is for students to keep track of the numbers involved by drawing up a table of values. They are then encouraged to...

Students use problem solving skills, logical thinking, and their ability to work sequentially in order to solve an algebra problem. They listen to the problem read aloud by the teacher and devise a plan in order to solve the problem.

Second graders look at the number patterns we get from letters and numbers. They keep track of the numbers involved by drawing up a table of values. It's important here to look for the pattern and see how the number of tiles changes from...

Students generate number patterns for certain 'insects' from the mythical planet of Elsinore. Each 'Pede' is made up of square parts and has a number of feet. The patterns all link the number of feet and the number of squares. The...

Students form a repeating pattern using shoe colour (eg., white, brown, white, brown). Without knowing what pattern they are using ask the students to join the line if they think that they could be the 5th member of the pattern. Ask them...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Second graders link the development of skip-counting patterns to bars on a relationship graph. They also plot our skip-counting patterns on a hundred's board, counting by 2's and also by 4's.

Students are introduced to the problem and brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. They work in pairs and share their answers, explaining their reasoning.
