Thank goodness we have calculators to compute logarithms. Pupils use calculators to create logarithmic tables to estimate values and use these tables to discover patterns (properties). The second half of the lesson plan has scholars use...

Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

Number patterns can seem mysterious. Help your learners unravel these mysteries as they complete an intriguing task. Through examination, collaborative groups determine that they are able to produce all integers above a certain...

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

In this patterns worksheet, students complete multiplication charts and division problems to solve pattern problems. Students complete 11 problems total.

Students look for a pattern to solve an ancient puzzle. In this logic and reasoning math lesson, students work to solve the problem of moving the Tower of Hanoi, then listen to a legend about a monk moving a 64-disc tower and determine...

Fifth graders use a software program to practice their problem solving skills. As a class, they identify patterns in their days at school and review problem solving patterns in math. They solve different problems and discover that the...

What's next in the series? Mathematicians study figures, graphs, and statements to determine what comes next in this patterns worksheet. They experiment with a multiplication chart and draw their own figures to continue specific...

Upper graders examine Native American culture while practicing mathematical concepts related to patterns and estimation. They will use mental math to add/subtract single digit numbers.

Explore patterns, variables, and mathematical relationships when you examine patterns with toothpicks and determine the next sequence of figures. Your class writes and justifies a formula based on the sequence. An answer key is included.

In this addition to 10 worksheet, students will solve seven addition problems with three missing addends. The goal is to find at least seven ways to make ten with three addends and to look for a pattern.

Don't table the resource on writing expressions for relationships in tables. Scholars investigate relationships between variables and write algebraic expressions involving multiplication and division. These expressions help solve...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when adding and...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

Banks are responsible for keeping our financial information safe. Mathematics is what allows them to do just that! Pupils learn the math behind the cryptography that banks rely on. Using polynomial identities, learners reproduce the...

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...

Practice makes perfect and perfecting those trigonometric functions are vital in trigonometry. The task requires evaluating cosine and sine values at common degree measures before looking at the results. Is there a pattern when the...

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....

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second lesson on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the multiplicative...

Time to put it all together! Building on the concepts learned in the previous lessons in this series, learners apply the Remainder Theorem to finding zeros of a polynomial function. They graph from a function and write a function from...

Log the resource on logarithms for future use. Learners review and explore properties of logarithms and solve base 10 exponential equations in the 12th installment of a 35-part module. An emphasis on theoretical definitions and...
