Finishing patterns can be fun and engaging. Here are nine different patterns that have learners determine the rule or determine which image or shape will come next in the sequence. A very well-done presentation.

Students demonstrate various patterns using dance. For this expressive arts lesson, students are led in a warm-up to demonstrate the AAB pattern, which includes spinning and jumping. Students are broken up into groups and perform several...

What's the pattern? Learners skip count to complete 12 sequences, some of which increase and some of which decrease. As they solve each number pattern they count by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 100, getting some extra subtraction and addition...

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....

Can learners recognize the pattern in these number sequences? Here's a hint: it's skip counting by either three, four, or five. There are three examples at the top demonstrating each of these, and scholars complete 15 number sequences to...

Test that number sense with this 10 question quiz. This quiz contains 10 questions intended to assess how well second graders understand standard form, expanded form, number patterns, and numeric quantity or value.

Students sort through pictures of food to create patterns as they pertain to geometry. For this geometric patterns lesson, students relate to food as concrete objects that represent geometric patterns. Students recognize and...

Pattern recognition is a skill often used in mathematics. Learners count and sort manipulatives, organize the data into a graph and answer questions about the information displayed. They collect the objects to be used and create patterns...

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem instructional activity, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel...

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Students use objects and symbols to create original linear patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also translate patterns from one modality to another.

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education lesson, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb, which students...

Hop to it! Beginning counters fill in water lily number sequences as a frog "hops" across them, skip counting by twos. There are five sequences in total, and some require counting backward. Learners can reference the two examples, which...

Learners explore repeating and growing patterns. In this patterns instructional activity, students describe patterns, explore changing patterns and match patterns. Learners participate in online activities and read books that show...

Double the dog ears, double the fun. Five problems provide increasing challenges with non-linear growth. Topics include dog ears, family trees and population data, and geometric patterns.  

Second graders define the word pattern and other related vocabulary. They create a pattern independently. Students recognize and extend patterns. They explain how repeated patterns are made. Students explore several patterns on a...

Students create numerical patterns by using an internet based calculator. In this patterns lesson plan, students complete, create, extend, and record different patterns.

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. For this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students show their knowledge of properties of objects as it pertains to sorting and creating patterns. In this food pyramid power lesson, students show their ability to use whole numbers in different representations by appling...

To reinforce shape recognition and identification, little learners create a shape collage. They name each shape as they go, gluing or pasting them onto bright paper. They discuss collage techniques and are encouraged to use their shapes...

Students use an Internet tool to explore shapes and how they combine.  In this patterns lesson plan, students create quilting patterns using various shapes.  Students recognize how the shapes fit together.

Youngsters study multiplication facts by manipulating food in order to problem solve. They will use healthy snack items as manipulatives to solve various multiplication equations. Charts, tables, physical models, and so much more are...

These sequences are missing numbers and require some skip counting to complete. Scholars finish rows of numbers first counting by 1s, then 10s, and finally 100s. Each has three given numbers to get them started, and they fill in five...
