Blaise Pascal Lesson Plans

Students examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing activity, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Students identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's Triangle.

Students reproduce the first eleven rows of Pascal's Triangle by recalling number patterns. For this math lesson, students are given a series of patterns to work with in order to reproduce Pascal's Triangle. Students are able recognize the integers, rows and columns that comprise Pascal's Triangle.

Students investigate properties of triangles using Sierpinski and Pascal methods. For this triangle lesson, students use their previous knowledge of perimeter, area and patterns to solve problems. The complete the Pascal's triangle using odd and even number properties.

Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each of the first 16 rows of the triangle. Students, in groups of four, are asked to find the different patterns that are within the triangle, to finish they present their findings to the class.

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's Triangle.

Students build number sense and algebraic knowledge through the use of Pascal's Triangle and multimedia aids. Emphasis is placed on technology-based activities, geometric and exponential patterns, and small, cooperative learning groups.

Fourth graders explore nine levels of Pascal's Triangle. They color multiples of specified numbers.

Students examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Students apply properties of Pascal's Triangle to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students evaluate expressions using formulas and properties of circles. They create solution to technology problems using application of Pascal's Law.

Fourth graders investigate the patterns found in Pascal's Triangle by identifying patterns on different items -- including the teachers clothing, a checker board, a quilt, and a spider web. The students access the referenced computer link to complete a Pascal's Triangle activity.
