Third graders review the commutative and associative property in mathematics. Using a worksheet, they work together to identify the patterns between the 32 triangles. To end the instructional activity, they create their own array and...

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes activity, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

Students assign value to different shapes of pattern blocks, and estimate values and use process of elimination to determine values. In this pattern block values lesson plan, students trace each block on a worksheet and use 5 blocks to...

Fifth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to solve a post office math problem. They describe what it means for a sequence to carry on infinitely, identify patterns in linear combinations of numbers, and discuss the amounts...

Students investigate the relationship between odd and even numbers. In this odd and even relationship lesson, students draw pictures to help increase understanding.

Students count and name the numbers and days on the calendar in order to determine the date. They identify the month and the entire date, and determine the pattern shown on the calendar markers. Students then calculate how many days...

Students become familiar with the achievements of the artist Faith Ringgold. They take notice of the patterns in their environment. They connect the mathematical concept of patterns to create a class quilt.

In this identifying patterns worksheet, students observe a sequence of Christmas figures and determine the final figure in order. Students choose the last figure in six sets of multiple choice answers.

Students listen to a read aloud of Alan Baker's, White Rabbit's Color Book while identifying shapes and lines throughout the book. They use shapes and different types of lines to create a bunny of their own. They must use five shapes to...

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged to...

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

Second and third graders identify odd and even numbers. They analyze a group of numbers and circle the odd number in each group. Pupils do the same with even numbers. This page has no explanation and there are no examples. Prior...

Sixth graders explore patterns and sequencing. As a class, they name numbers that fit in a pattern. Students use pattern blocks to construct and identify patterns. They use a calculator to create input and output functions.

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

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...

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...

Start with a NOVA video about car crashes, crash test dummy footage, or other video about seat belt use. Or have groups review attached data about seat belt usage (by state) and share their conclusions. Learners then devise a method to...

Learners demonstrate their knowledge pictorially, concretely, and abstractly in this unit meant to last three hours over three days. Using hands-on activities, manipulatives,  real-world applications, and problem...

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Learners address 14 questions that include naming all pairs of opposite and supplementary angles for sets of intersecting lines and then, finding the measure of the unknown angle. They determine the measure of the angle that is...

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Youngsters practice looking for the links to numeracy in their classes. This isn't a worksheet but a curriculum guide for an entire unit. Teachers can use any part of the resource to extend or inform their teaching practices related to...
