Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...

For this Pascal's triangle worksheet, students view Pascal's triangle and complete short answer questions about each row of the triangle. Students complete 6 questions.

In this math worksheet, students find the multiples of five that end in 0 or 5. Then they shade the numbers within Pascal's Triangle.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve binomials and trinomials using Pascal's Triangle theorem. They are able to factor out  any amount of higher power without having to factor all the way. There are 3 problems.

Pupils compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Fifth graders examine how to see patterns by showing how things work together. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numberical patterns involving operations of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.

Students problem solve logic problems. They complete a worksheet using dice as a manipulative. They decide on a problem solving strategy, solve the problem, and write up the solution.

Learners investigate what happens when a coin is tossed a few times versus many times. They analyze, in groups, the data from tossing coins, and the Law of Large Numbers.
