Pattern Power
Young elementary students will discover there are patterns all around them in their daily lives. In groups, they sort pattern blocks by size and color. Using the internet, they create their own type of patterns and share them with the...

What's My Pattern?
Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Patterns to the Rescue!
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...

Growing Patterns: Practical Pattern Problems
Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and...

I Spy a Pattern-Kindergarten
Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.
Curated OER
LET'S PARTY!
Students identify a number pattern and extend the number sequence. They make generalizations given a specific pattern and create, describe, and extend patterns. They create a table that describes a function rule for a single operation...

Cheerios Number Patterns
Young scholars, following a provided worksheet, use Cheerios to explore number patterns.
Curated OER
Patterns Everywhere!
Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.
Curated OER
Patterns
Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern lesson, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw their own...

Extending Pattern Understandings
Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.
Curated OER
Let's Explore Patterns
Second graders define the word pattern and other related vocabulary. They create a pattern independently. Students recognize and extend patterns. They explain how repeated patterns are made. Students explore several patterns on a...

Give or Take a Few
Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Human Migration Patterns II
While humans have always been on the move, the period between 1400 and 1800 saw vast migrations of people between the East and the West. These migrations—whether through slavery or a desire to colonize new lands—shaped the modern world....

Investigation - Patterns
Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....
Curated OER
Repeating Patterns
Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.
Curated OER
It Just Keeps Going and Going...
Students explore patterns, identify patterns, and complete a variety of patterns. They view and discuss an online video and identify the different patterns from the film, then using a hundreds grid create an original pattern using their...

Learning about the World of Color, Object and Shape Patterns
First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes. For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...
Curated OER
Representing and Extending Patterns
Students explore repeating and growing patterns. In this patterns instructional activity, students describe patterns, explore changing patterns and match patterns. Students participate in online activities and read books that show...

Patterns That Grow
Students investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Students extend additive patterns based on the core.
