Cut It Out
Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out. They...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
When one number goes in, another comes out. Scholars are introduced to math functions as they multiply, subtract, and divide numbers to get new ones. There are three functions and tables of numbers here; pupils apply the rule to each...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
Pupils experience math functions as they practice their addition and subtraction skills, and fill in each table based on a given rule. There are two columns in each of the four tables. The in column is already completed and the out...

Identifying Patterns
Investigators examine the clues to complete 17 sequences by skip counting backwards. There are two examples to get them started, and all of these patterns include the first three numbers but are missing the last five. If you want...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
Introduce your young math scholars to functions. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, consider projecting this and covering it up until you hear the class responses. They observe a rule (in this case to add 15) and...
Curated OER
Function Tables
In this graphing worksheet, students complete two different word problems by filling out the function tables and then writing an algebraic equation for the problems.
Curated OER
Kakuro Puzzle
In this math worksheet, students solve the number puzzle looking for the missing values. The sheet is intended to be a teacher's guide.
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Find the pattern! Eighteen number sequences challenge scholars to identify and complete the pattern, adding at least four digits to the given numbers. All the sequences here involve skip counting by various single-digit numbers,...
Curated OER
Skip Counting
In this math learning exercise, students complete 6 number patterns in which students fill in the missing numbers while skip counting. The addition pattern is already indicated for students. All numbers on the page are between 1 and 35.
Curated OER
Decimal Magic Squares
In this math worksheet, students solve the puzzle of the magic square as a grid of numbers where the values in each of the rows, columns and diagonals adds up to the same sum.
Curated OER
Paper Helicopters
In this paper helicopter worksheet, learners design and experiment making a paper helicopter to explore how some things fall and how varying the size of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins.
Curated OER
Combinations
In this combinations worksheet, students examine, analyze and calculate several ways to solve probability word problems involving combining ingredients to make a cake.
