Writing a general rule to model a specific pattern is a high-level skill. Your classes practice the important skill as they write rules describing the solutions to a system of equations with variable coefficients. As an added challenge,...

It's a sign! Scholars analyze sine functions for patterns in their periods. The exploration advances beyond a simple function to the combination of two functions with even and odd coefficients. Their goal is to find a pattern between the...

Evaluate patterns of numbers through an engaging task. Scholars work collaboratively to determine a general rule reflecting the sum of consecutive positive integers. Multiple patterns emerge as learners explore different arrangements.

Four polygons each have a fraction with unlike denominators printed on them. Creative math minds select several shapes to create a design with and then write and solve a math problem involving the addition of all of the fractions...

Define, explore, compare, and analyze functions with the fourth chapter of a 10-part eighth-grade workbook series. After encountering the definition of a function, pupils begin to explore linear and nonlinear functions. They then...

How does life evolve? The interactive provides a simulation based on the Game of Life invented by mathematician John Conway. Users can run the applet with the preset rules and settings or adjust them to view whether overpopulation or...

In this math skills review worksheet, students complete a variety of multiple choice problems including one digit multiplication with variables, division, patterns, and fact families.

Fourth graders observe patterns and determine a mathematical function that creates the pattern. Through a demonstration by the teacher, they observe strategies such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction to use when...

In this math patterns worksheet, students work to find the math pattern in 'The Lost Button' story. Students answer six questions about math patterns.

In this math patterns activity, students solve 10 problems in which a pattern is made with matchsticks on a grid. Students figure out how many matchsticks it will take to continue the pattern. Students also use simple algebra to figure...

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

In this recognizing multiples worksheet, students observe patterns of x's and draw the next sequences, write the number of crosses in the patterns and determine the rules for the sequences, and solve an exponent problem. Students solve...

In this number patterns worksheet, students follow instructions to create number patterns with given starting numbers. A website reference for additional resources and answer key are provided.

In this math tables learning exercise, students complete 4 blanks in a math table in which two digit numbers are added. Students determine the pattern and write the rule. There are four tables on the page.

Students drill on math patterns, functions and Algebra. They construct and use tables to solve problems associated with mathematical relationships and identify a rule/equation. Students comprehend input/output to determine the...

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....

In this logarithmic worksheet, learners make conjectures regarding the rules for condensing and expanding logarithms by investigating patterns.  This is designed to be done as a group activity. 

Students write equations if they change the data of the population to find patterns. They look for patterns in the data regarding male to female ratio (using the lowest possible). Students write a short story for the data that changes...

In this math worksheet, students solve eleven math problems. The problems include word problems from a variety of topics, such as money and tickets needed for a concert.

Students analyze the patterns in polygons and relate it to the rate of change. For this algebra lesson, students discuss the relationship between the data and the graph of the data.
