Students identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical movements, and concrete objects. They brainstorm patterns found in the classroom. Students use mathematical attributes to identify patterns and predict what comes next.

Students explore number patterns and relationships while being introduced to the calculator at the same time.

Fourth graders play a game clarifying when a game is "fair". They play in pairs stressing that the idea that they work out a winning strategy for the first player. They look for patterns to suggest that they start with a smaller number...

In this math worksheet, learners compare the expressions using the box method for graphing and the number sentence for each.

Students describe the five senses. They perform an investigation using sensory organs associated with each of the senses. Students identify, describe and extend repeating relationship (pattern) found in common, objects, sounds and...

In this even or odd numbers instructional activity, 7th graders solve 20 different problems by completing each sequence with the correct number. First, they circle whether the number is odd or even in the first 10 problems. Then,...
