Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.

Young scholars, following a provided worksheet, use Cheerios to explore number patterns.

Young scholars explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Young scholars utilize...

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...

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...

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this lesson has as much to do with keyboarding skills as it...

Students explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to determine...

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Students investigate growing patterns. For this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Students extend additive patterns based on the core.

Learners use pattern blocks to help them complete fraction problems. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete problems on worksheets provided.

Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The lesson culminates with students creating their own patterns to use in...

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own. They...

Pupils explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Pupils examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Help your math class understand variables. This activity is for a visual learner. They will use weights and a balance scale to show how the sides of an equation are equal. Worksheet is included.

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

Young scholars listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students explore codes, decode secret messages, and create codes of their own to use with their friends. They examine the use of gestures, letters, symbols and numbers in codes.

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Students brainstorm characteristics they associate with a community. In groups, they discover the role of a town square and create their own model. They also identify the various roles in keeping the community going and role play their...
