Finding patterns is an essential skill for mathematicians of all ages. Follow along with Zoe as she walks step-by-step through the process of identifying and completing number patterns. Work through the Try It! problems as a whole class...

In this numeration activity, students devise the best route to get through a pattern block maze. Students interact with numbers that are divisible by 2, 3 and/or 4.

The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math lesson plan. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

In the first video of this nine-part series on number and shape patterns, tables are used to determine the rule for a given set of inputs and outputs. Teach young mathematicians how to organize numbers in a table, making it easier for...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this lesson is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been discovered, pupils try...

Reinforce the multiplying by nine as a number pattern. After completing sequences of the multiples of nine, pupils decipher a pattern in the entire nine times tables. Finally, they write down any patterns that they see. A great way to...

Can your kindergartners write their numbers through 10? What about number patterns? This resource is a great way to get those training pencils moving! After tracing numbers 0 - 9, little writers continue three number patterns. Use this...

Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...

Explore multiples of three and four with 18 sets of numbers. Learners examine each row and circle the multiples of three (for the first nine) and four (for the last nine). There is an example as reference, however none of these are...

These dinosaurs act like math machines as scholars practice their division skills. Each one has a given division function to apply to four incoming dividends. Pupils complete the equations, writing in the quotient for each. There are no...

Provide your class with a comprehensive set of examples that help define sequences. They view a wide variety of sequences that range from animals, to letters and sounds. They work through each sequence to determine what should come next....

Finishing patterns can be fun and engaging. Here are nine different patterns that have learners determine the rule or determine which image or shape will come next in the sequence. A very well-done presentation.

Build number sense and make learning multiples a simple task with this helpful presentation. The multiples of two, five, and ten are represented first as number patterns. Learners will be able to construct rules based on what they see....

A very well done slide-show defines and explains how numeric patterns and sequences work. Academic vocabulary is highlighted as well as solid examples and whole class practice. The last slide contains four number sequences for the class...

Start this addition lesson plan with a challenge: project a ten frame with three counters for three seconds and then ask pupils if (and how) many. Give learners individual mats and counters, and model a double ten frame activity: five...

Use this Jeopardy-style game to challenge your 4th grade math students. The categories are: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and "potpourri." All sorts of problems appear on the slides. There are fraction, decimal, money,...

Which number comes next? The great part about this number sequencing worksheet is that it increases in difficulty so some learners who aren't challenged by the first few will definitely meet their match with the last couple. In each of...

Upper graders work with number patterns. In this pattern lesson plan, learners recognize and continue number patterns and find the rules.  They do some as a class and complete an assessment. 

Examine algebra using digital resources! Budding mathematicians will watch Cyberchase episode segments that propose a problem. Using information gathered from the video, they practice recording number patterns in several different ways:...

Pupils learn to count forward and backward by ten and one hundred. They fill in the blanks in 4 different number pattern lines. They then use what they learned to solve 8 subtraction and addition problems. 

Use this resource to help describe how a number chart can be used to practice adding ten. Each time learners move to the right or down, 10 is added. They use the chart to answer the 7 questions.

Review what constitutes a pattern, and have the kids create number and shape patterns of their own. An activity page requires them to name and identify simple numerical patterns.

Move around the hundred board to detect number patterns and relationships! This set of worksheets might actually work magic for your mathematicians as they begin to grasp the significance of the hundred board. For each of these, they...
