Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Create number sentences and equations to solve geometric problems. Each activity in the series of five asks young mathematicians to consider different-sized tiles to build structures according to specific criteria. The first activities,...

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson plan. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson plan covers all...

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry lesson, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by finding the line of...

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...

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...

Students go over math vocabulary words and show examples of the terms on the board. In this math vocabulary lesson plan, students go over many words and are given a worksheet with words and definitions.

Elementary mathematicians identify and share patterns found in multiplication. Through memorization drills and games, they identify the increments in which numbers increase when multiplying. Using a multiplication chart, learners...

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

In this math learning exercise, there are lots of links for different types of math problems. There are patterns and counting, addition and subtraction. This site is geared towards elementary kids.

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line activity, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Second graders use black and red construction paper to symbolize different one digit numbers that add up to 10. In this sums to 10 lesson plan, 2nd graders discover different combinations and patterns that can lead them to the number 10.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

For this elementary math worksheet, 5th graders find the answers to the word problems in the multiple choice format for addition and multiplication.

In this lower elementary math worksheet, students fill the blank in the middle of two numbers with the number that completes the sequences. They see 4,___.6; and fill in the blank. They see a black line picture of a chicken on the page.

Third graders develop a pattern using bean bags. They could kick the bean bag in the air with their left leg a certain number of times, etc. They work in pairs and trade off completely the patterns with one another.

Students stand in a boy-girl-boy-girl pattern to demonstrate what a pattern might be. They separate into groups and create two part patterns using construction paper of different colors.

Fourth graders explore patterns by participating in a class math activity. In this early algebra lesson, 4th graders utilize a die and chart to keep record of a snake game in which students must utilize a math function to solve a problem...
