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...

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...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this instructional activity 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...

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.

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...

Young scholars, following a provided worksheet, use Cheerios to explore number patterns.

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.

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...

Young scholars use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

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...

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.

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math instructional activity, 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...

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.

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...

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...

Learners investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Learners extend additive patterns based on the core.

Students explore repeating and growing patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students describe patterns, explore changing patterns and match patterns. Students participate in online activities and read books that show patterns in...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

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.

Pupils use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Learners study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

Young scholars are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give...

Learners investigate the elements of a pattern.  In this geometry lesson, students identify different shapes in a pattern and discover which shapes are missing in order to extend it.  Learners create their own patterns using...
