Building and Expanding Patterns
The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math lesson plan. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

Picking Patterns
In this pattern activity, students enumerate the number of objects that comes next in the sequence including triangles, blocks, and circles. There are 6 questions.

Patterns, Patterns Everywhere!
Not only is pattern recognition an essential skill for young children to develop, it's also a lot of fun to teach! Over the course of this lesson, class members participate in shared readings, perform small group activities, and complete...

Patterns - Numbers, Shapes, etc.
Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that represents a...

Toothpick Patterns
In this patterning worksheet, students identify and complete 15 different patterns that include using toothpicks. First, they determine the number of toothpicks needed to create each figure in a given sequence. Then, students determine...

Patterns to the Rescue!
Track down the Cyberchase episode that this lesson is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been discovered, pupils try...

Patterns
Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

Modeling Patterns and Cycles in Our Lives
Students explore how building a model can help them better understand the natural world. They identify common cycles or patterns in nature as well as examples of models in the classroom. After discussion, they choose a pattern or cycle...

Mathematics: Growing Patterns
Learners graph growing patterns using ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. They read The Fly on the Ceiling, a Math Myth.

Pixel Pattern
Any vintage video game users in the room? Young scholars use a video presentation to analyze patterns in pixel arrangements. By writing an arithmetic sequence, they make predictions about the size of the image.

Growing Patterns: Practical Pattern Problems
Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and describe with a...

A Matter of Pattern
Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson plan, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students engage in a...

Introduction to Patterns
The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra lesson in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...

Punch Patterns
Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Number Patterns
An easy way to introduce numerical patterns, these activities can be made simpler by using addition, or more difficult with division, fractions, and percentages. Children examine patterns and determine the missing number in the sequence....

Mo Willems Author Study
Who is Mo Willems? Explore the author with your class. Learners read books written by Willems, compare and contrast the characters therein, and make predictions about what will happen. Finish off this author study by having small groups...

Scatter It! (Predict Billy’s Height)
How do doctors predict a child's future height? Scholars use one case study to determine the height of a child two years into the future. They graph the given data, determine the line of best fit, and use that to estimate the height in...
Curated OER
A Matter of Pattern
Students will create and predict patterns formed when making paper snowflakes. Students will construct snowflakes understanding that patterns may be predicted based on observation.

Creating AB Patterns
Young scholars work with patterns. In this pattern lesson, students find AB patterns in nature and the manmade world. They create their own AB pattern using math manipulatives and visual arts.
Curated OER
Patterns
Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern lesson, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw their own examples.
Curated OER
Hop To It!
Students determine patterns. In this mathematics lesson, students act out a skit, play a sequence game, and complete patterns. Students use problems solving skills.

What Do You See at the Pond?
With What Do You See at the Pond?, young readers explore pond life and practice reading strategies. Learners first make predictions and then read the simple story independently. After a second read-through with a partner, kids come...

Shape Pattern Prediction
For this shape patterns worksheet, learners study the shape patterns in each set. Students circle and color the shape that continues the 12 patterns.
