How many total tiles does it take to tile a table top? Learners apply geometric concepts to determine the number of tiles needed for a specific square table top, and then use the result to create expressions for the number of tiles...

One ratio to rule them all. Young mathematicians investigate the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. To begin the first lesson, they use a spreadsheet to see how the Fibonacci sequence gives the Golden Ratio. The second lesson...

Third graders solve In and Out function problems. They analyze a chart and discuss the steps to solving the functions, and discuss the patterns and complete the charts. Students then create a book of repeating patterns using magazines,...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Students analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their own patterns and...

Students understand what a pattern is and how to make a pattern. In this pattern lesson, students use cubes to create various patterns. Students recognize the pattern created.

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.

Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the...

Coordinate graphs can be used for a variety of purposes. In 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 finding patterns in pyramids and prisms activity, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

Learners explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson plan, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional...

Young scholars investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This instructional activity helps to develop the skill of number sense.
