In this introduction to algebraic thinking, students perform given calculations. They draw a sequence of pictures to explain the equation. This five page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

For this Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II worksheet, students determine what term is missing in the two given sequences.  The one page worksheet has two problems with the solutions. 

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Build a connection between algebraic sequences and spreadsheets. Learners examine a specific folding pattern and convert the pattern into a spreadsheet. The goal of the spreadsheet is to produce a sequence of a specific pattern modeled...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

Learners discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns...

Students explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns instructional activity, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Students predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Middle schoolers explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

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.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

In this problem solving patterns worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 2 various types of problems. First, they identify what the 4n represents in each block pattern illustrated. Then, students determine the number of arrows added to...

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Students explore Fibonacci sequences. In this math lesson, students identify the relationship between two numbers. Students use Fibonacci sequences to create algebraic equations.

Students identify, extend and create patterns using various types of manipulatives and then work a pattern game in the computer lab to reinforce what was learned.

In this sequences worksheet, students solve for the sum of ten sequences.  Students solve for a specified term of the geometric or arithmetic sequence in fourteen other problems.

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 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.

In this high school worksheet, young scholars solve problems involving angles, functions, square roots, and sequences. They read word problems, write equations, and then solve them. This 28-page worksheet contains 39 problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students perform operations using arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. They find the sum, missing and repeated terms. There are 22 problems
