Students estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

Find the sequence of an equation with your math super stars. They differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences and then calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

For this patterns and sequencing worksheet, 9th graders complete 30 math problems that involve patterns and rules. Students must read information as they work through the math problems.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...

In this grade 3 patterns activity, 3rd graders answer a set of 13 multiple choice questions, finding missing numbers in and completing patterns. Answers may be submitted and checked on-line.

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

In this problem solving patterns activity, 6th graders solve and complete 2 various types of problems. First, they identify what the 4n represents in each block pattern illustrated. Then, students determine the number of arrows added to...

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

In this math worksheet, students examine a pattern of geometric shapes. After looking at the sequence of shapes and deciding what the pattern is, students choose the shape that would come next. There are 4 problems.

In this geometry and religion worksheet, students examine a black line picture of an Islamic pattern before identifying the shapes in the pattern. They color the pattern by following the directions given at the bottom of the page.

Young scholars identify different patterns and sequence in a deck of cards. In this algebra lesson, students use reasoning and proof to solve problems. They create different steps to identify and solve their problems.

Students examine how the environment influences tree growth. In this tree lesson, students analyze the growth of rings to see how plants adjust to adverse conditions in order to survive.

While just a quick review of the concept of identifying numbers in a sequence, this resource could be used in a lower-grade room to review this idea. The numbers used are between one and twenty. Therefore, it would be appropriate for use...

There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Students see how to identify regular polygons, how to slide, turn and flip polygons, and why certain polygons tessellate better than others. Groups create a one foot square design to be used to tile the classroom. Great lesson!

Investigate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Individuals begin by identifying independent and dependent variables from different problem situations. Then, using specific guidelines, they create posters...

Linear, quadratic, and exponential functions are represented only by their table of values in this simple, well-written worksheet. Learners decide the type of graph represented based on the differences in the function values....

To reinforce shape recognition and identification, little learners create a shape collage. They name each shape as they go, gluing or pasting them onto bright paper. They discuss collage techniques and are encouraged to use their shapes...

Students tackle the problem of how to divide a triangular piece of land fairly among four people. They decide whether their method of fair division always works or if it only works in special cases.

Ninth graders recognize isolines on a weather map and draw isolines based on temperature data on a weather map. They draw isotherms on a weather map to identify temperature patterns.

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...
