Patterns with Decimals
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 plan, they...

Patterns on Parade
First graders discover that patterns exist in sounds, movement, and objects. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders select two items from a group and produce an alternating pattern.
Curated OER
Follow the Pattern
Students survey patterns and relationships and then predict outcomes in real-world situations.
Curated OER
Finding Patterns in Fractals
Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.
Curated OER
Spot The Pattern
Students study integers. In this math lesson students complete several worksheets on arithmetic series, triangles and word problems.

Building Patterns Constantly
Students are introduced to some number patterns using buildings constructed with squares. They construct tables of patterns and finding the recurrence rule for a simple pattern where the increase from term to term is a constant.
Curated OER
Searching For A Pattern
Students investigate the concept of number patterns. They practice recognizing various forms of them. Students solve different problems using multiples of different numbers. The multiples are then explained to be in a sequence.

Patterns
Fifth graders investigate the use of patterns in a data set. The set is disolayed visually using cubes. This helps struggling students to see the quantity in order to make comparisons more effectively.
Curated OER
Patterns and Sequences
Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.

Transformers Part 1 - Absolute Value and Quadratic Functions: Function Transformations
Transform your instruction with an exploratory lesson! Young scholars manipulate absolute values and quadratic functions to look for transformation patterns. They use the patterns to write general rules of transformations.
Curated OER
Number Patterns
Second graders identify number patterns. In this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule.
