Fourth graders practice making patterns using Unifix cubes and identify, analyze, and determine rules for describing numerical patterns involving operations and nonnumerical growing patterns. They also find an example of a pattern in...

Students explore simple patterns.  In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson plan, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns.  Students recite "Hey, Diddle,...

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Learners find symbols and patterns in everyday life. In this patterns lesson, students break into groups and look for specific patterns and symbols. Learners record their findings. Students create a graphic organizer with the information.

Fourth graders investigate the patterns found in Pascal's Triangle by identifying patterns on different items -- including the teachers clothing, a checker board, a quilt, and a spider web. The students access the referenced computer...

Students 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...

Students examine geometric quilt patterns to identify how math may have been used to help slaves escape to freedom. They slide, flip and turn geometric shapes to create a map quilt.

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

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.

In this recognizing patterns learning exercise, students identify the sequence of pictures with sounds and motions, and choose the one that is likely to come next. Students solve three answers.

Patterns are extremely helpful when solving a puzzle. Young scholars attempt to find times a bus will pass each stop. They identify a pattern in the known stop times to identify the solutions.

First angle measures, now segment lengths. High schoolers first measure segments formed by secants that intersect interior to a circle, secants that intersect exterior to a circle, and a secant and a tangent that intersect exterior to a...

Students create patterns. In this patterns instructional activity, students view examples of patterns, walk around the school and identify patterns and complete pattern interactives. Students create patterns with KidPix and with objects.

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Apple, banana, apple, banana...what's next? Youngsters practice recognizing patterns using these object sequences. For the first four patterns, they examine the start of a set, find the pattern, and complete the subsequent drawings in...

Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.

Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

For this scary mathematics worksheet, young mathematicians identify which of the patterns on the sheet are cursed. They fix the number that does not follow the pattern rule in each set.

For this recognizing patterns worksheet, 6th graders identify patterns of shapes and numbers and determine the pattern shape or number in question by skipping patterns (i.e.: the tenth, the forty-eighth, the ninety ninth) and by using...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...
