Searching For A Pattern
Students investigate the concept of number patterns. They practice recognizing various forms of them. Students solve different problems using multiples of different numbers. The multiples are then explained to be in a sequence.

Mix Patterns Worksheet
In this number recognition activity, students recognize patterns in numbers. Students are given four or five numbers for each of the twenty problems and are to determine the next number by figuring out the pattern.
Curated OER
Getting Out of Line
Students explore basic connections between graphs, tables, and symbolic representations for lines, parabolas, inverse models, and exponential models. One of the primary goals of this lesson is to help students begin to recognize patterns...
