Repeating Patterns

For Teachers K - 2nd
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.

Extending Geometric and Numeric Patterns

For Teachers 1st - 4th
Students 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...

Patterns and Sequences

For Teachers 9th
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.

Extending Patterns

For Teachers 1st
In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders draw the shapes that they see in the pattern illustrated. Then they identify which shape comes first, which comes after the circle, and which comes after the square. Students also draw the shape...
