Fifth graders study math patterns and relationships as well as learn about the heritage of Aboriginal peoples of Saskatchewan. In this patterns and heritage lesson, 5th graders research the daily lives of First Nations People in...

Young scholars use diagrams or lists to show relationships. They also identify the pattern of triangular numbers. The mathematics behind situations provide a way of problem solving to examine the answers.

Young scholars explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming...

Fourth graders use the concept of number patterns to complete a portion of Pascal's Triangle as well as identify and describe the patterns represented.

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Young scholars act out the start of the given problem. They then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem and share solutions to the problem by identifying and continuing a repeating number pattern.

Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...

Tenth graders identify homogeneous tessellations. In this model-based lesson, 10th graders make and identify homogeneous tessellations, both regular and semi-regular.

Students are introduced to the problem and brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. They work in pairs and share their answers, explaining their reasoning.

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

Young scholars look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

High schoolers generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Students practice identifying even numbers. In this even numbers lesson, students identify the pictures of even numbers, complete multiplication equations, and answer even and odd number riddles.

Pupils clap four-beat rhythm patterns containing whole, half, dotted half, quarter, and eighth notes and rests in a given tempo. They clap the tempo as their teacher holds up flash cards.

Third graders identify analogous and contemporary colors on the color wheel and identify the five facts about the quilts, women, and community of Gees Bend. Finally, 3rd graders pinned their fabric pieces to the copy paper in the exact...

Fifth graders take addition timed tests every day for a two week period. Using the data from the timed tests, they create a bar graph using Microsoft Excel computer software, a personal bar graph using graph paper and colored pencils,...

Learners use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions instructional activity, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This instructional...

Learners figure out and discuss the irony of this coin-centric poem. They also practice persuasive letter writing, and identify and count coin/money values.

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

Students identify the difference between two objects: a glove and a mitten. Those who like gloves raise their hands and receive a glove outline to color and cut out. Then those who prefer mittens will raise their hands and receive a...

Students practice figuring out how items have been sorted. They also sort buttons in small cooperative groups. They color and sort their own paper buttons and then give their button sort to another student to see if he or she can figure...

Students identify the characteristics of aerosols. Using remote sensing, they participate in an experiment in which they determine how the sun's radiation and elements in the atmosphere interact with one another. They also research the...
