Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

How are your second graders progressing in their math skills? Find out with a series of math assessment activities. With baseline assessment score sheets for each skill, you can track how well your kids are adding, subtracting, telling...

In this math patterns worksheet, students use their problem solving skills to solve 6 problems that require them to complete messages by finding patterns.

You'll never look at floor tiles the same again. An assessment task prompts learners to investigate relationships between patterns involving squares and kites to determine angle measurements. They then prove...

Here, second graders are tasked to find the patterns that have an even number of tiles. They are asked to think about why these patterns are even or odd and explain how they know.

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

One block, two blocks, white blocks, gray blocks. In the high school assessment task, learners investigate patterns of sidewalk stones to develop a quadratic expression for each colored block. Young mathematicians then use the expression...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Finally, it all adds up. Learners complete a number puzzle in which they investigate the sums of the digits one through nine in a cross pattern. They then try to determine what totals are possible and which ones are...

Patterns are extremely helpful when solving a puzzle. Young scholars attempt to find times a bus will pass each stop. They identify a pattern in the known stop times to identify the solutions.

In this Easter egg patterns activity learning exercise, students examine 7 rows of egg patterns, cut out the eggs on the bottom of the sheet, and paste the eggs in the appropriate boxes to complete the 7 patterns.

Mathematics involves a study of patterns. The exploratory lesson has learners consider the addition pattern in different sets of numbers. Each set has a different pattern that pupils describe mathematically. The patterns involve...

In this codes instructional activity, students investigate eight codes used in everyday life. Fourteen activities are included as well as four miscellaneous exercise.  This instructional activity has great student interest.

In this logarithmic activity, students make conjectures regarding the rules for condensing and expanding logarithms by investigating patterns.  This is designed to be done as a group activity. 

In this everyday math skills pretest, students answer ten multiple choice questions based on their knowledge of everyday math skills such as estimation, addition, and measurement.

Learners create patterns in a table to mimic the function of an electronic spreadsheet. The result is a table that creates an addition table for decimals in intervals of one-tenth. While creating the pattern, pupils must thoroughly...

In this sequences and series activity, students complete seven activities covering arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, and series.  Fully worked out examples, formulas, and explanations are included.

In this numerical value worksheet, students determine the numerical value given to letter in an addition problem.  The solution to the problem is provided. 

In this patterns practice worksheet, students read a 3-paragraph excerpt regarding a family tree and respond to 1 graphic organizer question and 1 short answer question.

Pupils figure out how to be resourceful when tasked with finding the area of a triangle knowing nothing but its endpoints. Beginning by exploring and decomposing a triangle, learners find the perimeter and area of a triangle. They...

Who doesn't like building blocks? In the task, pupils use a given diagram of a tower to determine the number of needed blocks. Using this information, pupils then develop a function rule relating the height of the tower to the number of...

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...

This dynamic 4-page packets challenges students to practice number sequencing. The sequences get progressively more difficult. Your class must count by ones, backwards, by twos, and by threes. Students can complete this packet as an...
