Curated OER
Ten by Ten
Learners participate in hands-on activities using a hundreds chart and counting toes and fingers. They discover the patterns that are created when counting by ten. After a lecture/demo, students practice by using a worksheet embedded in...
Curated OER
Sequencing From Close To Far
Students explore how objects stay the same size and only "look" like they change when closer are farther from the object. They sequence aerial photos and satellite images from closest to farthest.
Curated OER
Math Sequencing Activities
Recognizing patterns and sequences in groups of numbers is an essential skill for all students to learn.
Curated OER
It Just Keeps Going and Going...
Students explore patterns, identify patterns, and complete a variety of patterns. They view and discuss an online video and identify the different patterns from the film, then using a hundreds grid create an original pattern using their...
Curated OER
Number Sequence Rules
In this number sequence interactive worksheet, students fill in the missing numbers in each of the 14 number sequences. There are three numbers missing in each number sequence.
Curated OER
Pencil It In
In this recognizing patterns worksheet, students identify problems with patterns and draw the number of pencils that most likely come next. Students solve four problems.
Curated OER
Translate Patterns
In this math patterns learning exercise, students solve 6 problems in which the number, letter or shape pattern in a series is determined. Students mark the choice that shows how the pattern would be continued.
Curated OER
Identifying the Patterns
Apple, banana, apple, banana...what's next? Youngsters practice recognizing patterns using these object sequences. For the first four patterns, they examine the start of a set, find the pattern, and complete the subsequent drawings in...
Curated OER
Counting by 3s, 4s, and 5s
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...
Curated OER
Counting, Properties of Numbers, and Reasoning about Numbers
Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...
Curated OER
My Hero Story Scramble
Use websites to read stories about heroes. The "My Hero" website provides skills and reading materials to help your class analyze sequence and story parts. They put the events in order to show the correct sequence of events.
Curated OER
Frogs Hopping by 2s
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...
Curated OER
Points on a Line
Get your learners up and moving, all while reviewing numbers on the number line! For this activity, learners are grouped in teams outdoors. The teacher will have already created number lines on the ground (with chalk, tape, etc.), and...
Curated OER
Math On Your Lap Quilt
Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.
Curated OER
Hopping by 2s
Hop to it! Young counters practice skip counting by two using illustrations of animals hopping from place to place. Each image shows a number sequence and scholars draw in the path as they move from number to number. Encourage them to...
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.
Curated OER
Patterns
In this patterns learning exercise, 2nd graders look at, study, analyze and choose which pattern comes next in 5 rows of patterns. Students circle and draw their answers.
Noyce Foundation
Tri-Triangles
Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....
Curated OER
Counting by 1s, 10s, and 100s
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...
Curated OER
Complete the Patterns
In this patterns worksheet, learners analyze a row of geometric shapes in a pattern. Students draw the next three shapes that would come in the sequence. There are 5 problems.
Curated OER
Understanding Sequence
In this sequencing worksheet, students read a story and number the events in the story. Students number 6 events from the story and put them in order from first to last.
Curated OER
Find a Pattern problem solving 6.6
In this finding a pattern using a table instructional activity, students write what they know and need to find out, make a table to show a pattern, and solve the pattern sequence. Students write nine answers.
Curated OER
Counting Sequences
In this counting sequence instructional activity, students fill in missing numbers in a series of 8 number patterns. Patterns appear in sets of boxes in rows.
Curated OER
Starfish Surprises
In this missing numbers worksheet, young scholars write the missing numbers covered by the starfish in the patterns. Students complete 6 problems total.
