Do this for numbers 1-10, but in this one youngsters just focus on the number three. First, they trace the digit three times (of course!) and try a few on their own. Next, scholars count how many bears, bowls, and beds there are, writing...

The snake goes sssss and the plane goes nnnnn! Practice letters and their sounds with a collection of activities. For each letter, kids get to color, practice the sound, and practice writing the letter. This is group one. See the...

Test your learners' sensory awareness with three hands-on activities that ask pupils to use their other senses to identify and describe everyday objects hidden from sight.  

Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Focus on fours! First, young counters trace the number four (in numeral form) three times and print a few on their own. Next, they count Little Bo Peep's groups of sheep, recording each total. There are four of each, but encourage them...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson plan in a series of 15. The examples...

Factoring patterns are not magic! Show your classes how to model the difference of two squares' factors using an area model. Learners manipulate the width and length of two squares to represent the polynomial a^2-b^2. They use the model...

Apply geometry to find the distance as the crow flies. An engaging lesson compares the distance a car must drive to the straight line distance between two locations. Scholars must manipulate a simulation, note the change in distances,...

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...

Math pages that involve coloring are fun and can help children differentiate patterns or specific information. They compute single-digit addition problems that result in  sums from 10 to 15. Odd numbers are colored red and even...

In this addition patterns worksheet, students respond to 7 questions that require them to fill in the missing numbers in 7 patterns and then describe each of the patterns in their own words.

Students are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give to a...

First graders discover that patterns exist in sounds, movement, and objects. In this patterns instructional activity, 1st graders select two items from a group  and produce an alternating pattern.

Learners study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Pupils weave construction paper to create a placemat that displays a pattern.

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 plan.

Students create a macaroni necklace based on a pattern given them by the instructor. In this reinforcement lesson, students are given a complex pattern and using a letter key. They must recreate the patten using colored macaroni strung...

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.

Learners investigate the elements of a pattern.  For this geometry lesson, students identify different shapes in a pattern and discover which shapes are missing in order to extend it.  Learners create their own patterns using...

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 patterns instructional activity, 4th graders determine which patterns to use to solve 8 problems involving 2 math scenarios and then find the next 3 numbers in 2 groups of numbers.

In this math patterns worksheet, students use the problem solving strategy of understand, plan, solve, and look back to help them find patterns to solve word problems.

In this early childhood understanding patterns learning exercise, students find the pattern in 3 problems and then show each another way. Students also explain how they decided what pattern to make in 1 of the problems.
