Don't freeze out the interactive on inequalities from your lesson plans. Young mathematicians use an interactive thermometer and number line to compare freezing temperatures. Inequalities help express these comparisons.

It's okay to get caught with your hand in a virtual cookie jar. Pupils use an interactive to drag cookies from two cookie jars onto a plate. They investigate how an expression representing the number of remaining cookies changes as users...

Parent functions and their combinations create unique graphical designs. Learners explore these relationships with a progressive approach. Beginning with linear equations and inequalities and progressing to more complex functions,...

How do you graph a sentence? Scholars do just that as they represent relationships between independent and dependent variables with a graphical representation. Given a sentence, they determine the pertinent relationship and create a...

Plot the relationship of characteristics of creepy creatures. Learners plot the coordinates to describe the number of eyes, horns, and/or brains different creatures have. Pupils fill out a table to plot the points and complete the...

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Young scholars participate in determining the completion of patterns and discovering which part of the pattern doesn?????™t belong.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson plan, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Students listen to story Dinosaurs Dancing, use dinosaur counters to identify, copy, create and extend pattern that is repeated at least three times, and complete web lesson.

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson plan, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

Students discover patterns in language, math and science. They experience patterns by hearing stories, and becoming pattern detectives.

Students discuss shape and number patterns and play a game practicing completing patterns. Then they rotate through five workstations that reinforce the concept of patterning.

Students explore the history and purpose of quilts in early America. They create and name their own unique quilt blocks. Students combine their quilt blocks with other students in the class to create a class quilt.

Fifth graders recognize shape and number patterns. In groups, 5th graders use strategies to find patterns. They extend the patterns and give explanations as to how they found the pattern. Students use the computer and the hundreds...

In this math sequences worksheet, students solve 17 problems in which they write the next 3 numbers that will complete a math sequence. Students analyze the 3 two digit numbers in a series, decide on the pattern, and provide the next 3...

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.

Third graders review the commutative and associative property in mathematics. Using a worksheet, they work together to identify the patterns between the 32 triangles. To end the lesson, they create their own array and exchange it with...

Fifth graders are given a set of manipulatives to use to develop patterns. In groups, they follow the directions to determine which blocks go with which pattern and put them into the correct sequence. To end the lesson, they complete a...

In this patterning worksheet, 1st graders create their own patterns. Students complete 4 self made patterns using colors and shapes in each.

Students explore quilting. In this math patterns lesson plan, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Young scholars participate in numerous activities and games. In pairs, they play card games to find relationships between a random set of playing cards. After writing samples of Dear Abby letters concerning math problems, students...

Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.
