Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Young scholars explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Young scholars describe the attributes of their shape and...

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Learners compare and contrast the difference in the two sets of images and discuss the visual interest in the first set and the different visual interest created in the second set of prints.

Students create a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students review the meaning of symmetry and explore using pattern blocks. Students look for patterns in real quilts, photographs and pictures. Students work independently to plan a...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Students imagine that they are looking out (or in) a window with four panes and write about what they see using a variety of sentence structures. They create a paragraph about what they see looking through their window on Thanksgiving day.

In this patterns and sequencing learning exercise, 9th graders complete 30 math problems that involve patterns and rules. Students must read information as they work through the math problems.

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

For this dot to dot patterns worksheet, 2nd graders continue to connect the dots in 4 patterns to continue each pattern. Students create their own pattern on the last dot to dot section of the worksheet.

Students strengthen shape and pattern recognition, fine-motor and perceptual skills, encouraging imagination, play and sense of self within a group

In this patterns learning exercise, 2nd graders look over 4 different rows of pictures, look for a pattern and then draw what comes next on the lines provided. Students create their own pattern on the 5th line.

Fifth graders explore quilting in pioneer families. In this quilting lesson, 5th graders review the history of quilts, the role of women, and quilting patterns. They create their own pattern and quilt square.  

Third graders solve In and Out function problems. They analyze a chart and discuss the steps to solving the functions, and discuss the patterns and complete the charts. Students then create a book of repeating patterns using magazines,...

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math instructional activity, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one...

Students are presented with a story about two individuals running a race in which one is given a head start. Students must map the progress of the runners, create a chart examining patterns and graph the progress. In the end, students...

Fourth graders work with patterns while using large numbers. In this patterning lesson, 4th graders go over the definitions of the words: predict, estimate, attendance, increase, and decrease. They complete worksheets in which they track...

Students compute the length of time it will take to save enough money to purchase a yo-yo. For this math lesson, students create a design with pennies and write the associated linear equation. In this linear equations lesson, students...

First graders research strategies for identifying numbers through 100. In this number recognition instructional activity, 1st graders make games, create puzzles,and fill in missing numbers to practice number identification.

Students take a "field trip" with the teacher through the school then draw a diagram of what they saw. They bring the maps to the computer lab where they create electronic maps using the software program Neighborhood Map Machine.

In this pattern worksheet, students continue the patterns pictured below for each row of images. Students also create two new patterns in the blank boxes.

Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

Pupils identify different patterns and sequence in a deck of cards. In this algebra lesson plan, students use reasoning and proof to solve problems. They create different steps to identify and solve their problems.
