Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Go on a scavenger hunt around your school to find evidence of math. Investigate different areas of your school for patterns, fractions, and different geometric shapes. Finally, create a spreadsheet and plot the data you've collected.

Administer an activity that fosters a child's understanding of multiples. Young mathematicians are guided to complete three tasks on a multiplication chart. Once they color the boxes with multiples of two, three, and four, learners...

Shapes in art, shapes in stories, shapes in the environment, shapes all around. A multi-part instructional activity that includes looking at the artist Paul Klee's work, reading books about shapes, taking a walk in the neighborhood and...

Build on your class' understanding of real numbers as they begin working with complex numbers. Pupils begin with an exploration of i and the patterns in the powers of i. After developing a definition for i, they simplify complex number...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Identifying and verifying reproducible patterns in mathematics is an essential skill. Mathematicians identify the relationship of sides when an angle is bisected in a triangle. Once the pupils determine the relationship, they prove it to...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Height is dependent on weight—or is it the other way around? Given data from a physicians handbook, individuals compare the height and weight of males and females at different areas. They calculate differences and ratios to assist with...

Review what constitutes a pattern, and have the kids create number and shape patterns of their own. An activity page requires them to name and identify simple numerical patterns.

In this multiplication patterns worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different problems that include using patterns to multiply. First, they use the numbers circles on the sheet to identify pairs of numbers that share similar...

In this pattern activity, 2nd graders complete fifteen number patterns and explain the counting pattern for each group. Students also complete five picture patterns and label each of the patterns.

In this patterns worksheet, 11th graders identify and solve 3 different problems that include completing Fibonacci number patterns. First, they continue the pattern shown at the top to find more Fibonacci numbers. Then, students...

Pattern recognition is a skill often used in mathematics. Learners count and sort manipulatives, organize the data into a graph and answer questions about the information displayed. They collect the objects to be used and create patterns...

What's odd? What's even? And what is the pattern? Learners explore addition problems to answer this question, deciding if the answer to each equation is odd or even. They then draw a two-column table to illustrate the outcomes of the...

In this patterning instructional activity, students identify and complete 15 different patterns that include using toothpicks. First, they determine the number of toothpicks needed to create each figure in a given sequence. Then,...

First graders discuss the definition of patterns, and sing the song, Going Buggy, identifying patterns in the song. They create original patterns using bug counters and insect stickers.

Coordinate graphs can be used for a variety of purposes. For this basic worksheet on coordinate graphing, 4th graders learn how to identify points and patterns on a graph. This worksheet could be used as a follow up to a lesson on...

In this shape lesson, learners cut out tangram shapes and create different pictures with them. They look at 3-D shapes as well. There is a nice, hands-on component built into this lesson.

Help your young scholars identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

In this identifying patterns worksheet, students cut out pictures, view Halloween picture patterns, determine the last pattern, and paste the cut out pattern in its correct pattern group. Students paste 4 answers.

Students identify numbers in nature. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using Fibonacci sequence as it is expressed in nature. They research the Fibonacci's pattern as it relates to numbers.

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math lesson, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.
