Learners 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...

Does a linear or exponential model fit the data better? Guide your class through an exploration to answer this question. Pupils create an exponential and linear model for a data set and draw conclusions, based on predictions and the...

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...

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.

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...

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.

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. For this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

In this continuing the pattern worksheet, students observe patterns, write the numbers, draw the next picture, and identify sequence as a repeating pattern or a growing pattern. Students write four answers.

An outstanding lesson on music awaits your young composers! They learn about patterns found in music, the different sections of an orchestra, and see the differences between musicians and a composer. Excellent streamed videos and good...

Learners explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Young scholars explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson plan, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Young scholars create and share an...

Your algebra learners explore linear functions concretely using tables of values in a collaborative task. The idea that linear function values change by equal differences over equal intervals, is emphasized. The slope and...

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...

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

Augment your math curriculum with posters detailing several concepts important to second grade math. Each poster features one math term from geometry, measurement, probability and statistics, computation and estimation, numbers and...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Fifth graders explore and examine how to make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numerical patterns involving operations of whole...

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education lesson, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb, which students...

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Students explore patterns. They observe a video, "Math Monsters." Students determine the next item in a sequence. Students read books about patterns. They discuss patterns in quilts. Students visit a specified web site and design...

Pupils explore patterns. In this patterns lesson, students explore patterns in hand-shaking scenarios. Pupils work in groups to predict and record the number of handshakes that occur in a group.

This hands-on resource has future trip planners analyze graphs of mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time on different routes. While this was originally designed for a problem-solving exercise using a Michigan map, it could be used as a...
