Students gain an understanding of the value and importance of patterns in mathematics. Through video, interaction and hands-on activities, students identify concrete and abstract patterns incorporating logic and deductive and inductive...

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

Students complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry lesson, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without starting over.

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

Young scholars analyze patterns and try to figure out the next term in the sequence. For this algebra lesson, students discuss the functions rule and how it works to solve sequences. They practice solving problems and find the nth term...

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Students use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.

Learners describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students review the days of the week and tell what the current day is by singing a song. They fill in the sentence telling the day of the week it is and then discuss what day yesterday was and the name of the day tomorrow and then talk...

Students investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students demonstrate  soccer skills. In this passing and receiving instructional activity, students practice passing a soccer ball and receiving a soccer ball as part of a team. Students develop control over the ball.
