Learning about patterns can be an enjoyable experience using this activity. In this colorful presentation, learners look at a simple pattern and identify what comes next. There are several examples involving both shapes and number...

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

Finishing patterns can be fun and engaging. Here are nine different patterns that have learners determine the rule or determine which image or shape will come next in the sequence. A very well-done presentation.

Reinforcing the math terms, "before," "between," and "after," is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians must fill in the missing number in a sequence of numbers shown on each slide. This presentation should provide...

A very well done slide-show defines and explains how numeric patterns and sequences work. Academic vocabulary is highlighted as well as solid examples and whole class practice. The last slide contains four number sequences for the class...

This is a really cool math resource! There are nineteen different slides containing five math problems each. They are intended to be used as daily math warm ups and address skills such as, addition, problem solving, missing addends, word...

If you like to start each day with a new math challenge or warm-up, this resource is a must have. It includes 36 slides, each containing a different math challenge that stimulates algebraic reasoning, problem solving, and basic math...

Kids can work through this series of linked division problems to determine patterns and practice calculator use. They start by making calculations as a class, then work on a given set of division and multiplication problems intended to...

Number sequences make for great challenges that stimulate pattern recognition, algebraic reasoning, and number sense. This slide-show includes eleven number sequences for learners to work through, an explanation of what number sequences...

Number sequences and pattern recognition are vital skills for understanding more complex mathematical concepts. Practice determining the rule with your class. Each slide shows a sequence of numbers, they need to work together to find the...

Build number sense and make learning multiples a simple task with this helpful presentation. The multiples of two, five, and ten are represented first as number patterns. Learners will be able to construct rules based on what they see....

The Happy Game will make your students smile! They play this game to review basic math concepts such as, finish the pattern, even and odd numbers, addition, subtraction, and word problems. Tip: Use this PowerPoint as a template to create...

Who knew two hands could solve so many problems? Kids learn the 9's times tables trick with their fingers, then work through a series of 9's related math problems intended on building strong number sense and pattern recognition. Great...

Provide your class with a comprehensive set of examples that help define sequences. They view a wide variety of sequences that range from animals, to letters and sounds. They work through each sequence to determine what should come next....

Plug in this presentation for a quick start to your day. The class reviews the 6 times tables how they relate to division and then work through patterns to build logical reasoning and sequencing skills. A wonderful warm up or problem...

You've just found a teaching template ready to use, all you have to do is personalize it to fit your class. It contains five number sequences or patterns for learners to complete, a place for your name, and a "prize." Tip: This template...

It's not a short cut, just good old fashion number sense, but kids will love it. This presentation does a wonderful job describing the divisibility rules by showing how each one works, reviewing the rules as a collective and providing an...

This series of slides gives learners an opportunity to count on by 10's in number sequences then discuss how to apply counting on to addition and subtraction problems. Learners count on and back by 1's, 10's, and 100's.

Kids work to recognize and extend number sequences. They determine the rule in order to find the missing number in each sequence given. They review the concept, practice finishing sequences with a calculator, and explain each rule. 

While just a quick review of the concept of identifying numbers in a sequence, this resource could be used in a lower-grade room to review this idea. The numbers used are between one and twenty. Therefore, it would be appropriate for use...

This problem-solving PowerPoint includes detailed steps to follow when solving a math story problem. Each slide describes and gives an example of what a student should ask himself and/or what particular strategy would work in order to...

What are terms, factors, and coefficients? This slideshow provides definitions and examples of various parts of algebraic expressions, and provides guided practice problems in writing and identifying parts of algebraic expressions for...

Math and history collide in this presentation, which displays ancient Babylonian numbers and math amidst a discussion about the earliest empires of the known world. Images of maps, ancient relics, and migration patterns establish the...
