Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

In this number sequence learning exercise, students identify the next number in a sequence.  This one-page learning exercise contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided at the bottom of the page.

In this ordering worksheet, students are given a list of four numbers, all containing three digits. Students rewrite the numbers in order, according to the instructions. Some numbers are written greatest to least, and others are...

Students explore Fibonacci sequences. In this math lesson, students identify the relationship between two numbers. Students use Fibonacci sequences to create algebraic equations.

Students complete various small group activities to classify items and determine the types of combinations that can be made with these items. In the second lesson, students create menus for a restaurant to help them gain money sense and...

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Students view Elmer Holtzrichter's work Mystery Planet and discuss basic shapes and patterns. They create their own collage. and discuss the patterning they created. Students demonstrate how this pattern would sound with clapping and...

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

Students integrate the patterns of Fibonacci into music. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concepts of recursion, pattern and Phi or Golden Ratio to composing and playing music on various instruments. They lesson is co-taught...

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Students build sled kites. in this kite building instructional activity, students must read directions for kite building and enlarge the proportions of the given kite pattern. Students focus on the angles and line of symmetry in their...

Fifth graders use interlocking cubes to build towers to represent factors of numbers and place the towers in the appropriate places on a Tower chart in order to look for patterns. They work in partner groups, and finish by writing...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the slope of a line. They graph a linear equation given the slope and y-intercept and identify the slope and y-intercept given a linear graph. There are 15 questions.

Students examine a graph and relate it to the real world situation it depicts. They investigate changes in an equation and the appearance of a line. They investigate the connection between the graph of a situation and the meaning of the...

Students make a quilt. In this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their own...

Students explore reasons for varied salinity in bodies of water. In this geographical inquiry lesson, students use a variety of visual and written information including maps, data tables, and graphs, to form a hypothesis as to why the...

Students discover the reproductive parts of a plant.  In this biology lesson, students identify and categorize several different plants they dissect in class.  Students record their information using a data chart.

Tenth graders explore volume and surface area through percentages. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders analyze the surface area of two and three dimensional shapes, then use percents and ratio to compare the two.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes lesson, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces and edges.

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson plan. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own....

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

Young scholars expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create...

Students study strip patterns and identify symmetry. They create a paper doll chain. They experiment with different shapes. They determine if their chain is a strip pattern. They create snowflakes with triangles.

Seventh graders discover that there are multiple strategies to be used in problem solving. They explain a problem solving situation in their own words and determine a possible strategy for solving the problem.
