First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...

Students extend and create patterns. Through a variety of activities, they discover patterns as they exist in math and their everyday lives. Students create a necklace that represents a pattern.

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

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson plan, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Students identify and reproduce simple patterns (e.g., red blocks alternating with blue blocks; clap-clap-stamp) and create and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials or actions (e.g., popsicle sticks, pebbles, stickers,...

Students explore simple patterns.  In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns.  Students recite "Hey, Diddle,...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

An outstanding lesson on music awaits your young composers! They learn about patterns found in music, the different sections of an orchestra, and see the differences between musicians and a composer. Excellent streamed videos and good...

Students imagine they are animals in the Palace Facade painting. In this Palace Facade lesson plan, students observe and discuss the geometric and organic shapes in the painting shown to them.

Students demonstrate various patterns using dance. In 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...

Students 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. Students utilize inference skills to...

Young scholars explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional...

Students utilize skittles and unifix cubes to practice the recognition and creation of a variety of patterns. The created patterns are copied onto sheets and the colors are labeled.

Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

First graders describe and create simple patterns. They identify patterns in the environment. They extend and reproduce patterns.

Young scholars explore the concept of patterning using musical instruments. For this music lesson, students identify several instruments and practice playing patterns with them. Young scholars identify the patterning in a musical piece.

Third graders develop a pattern using bean bags. They could kick the bean bag in the air with their left leg a certain number of times, etc. They work in pairs and trade off completely the patterns with one another.

Students discuss and create their own patterns. They practice and improve on making patterns of their own using red, white, and blue paper for a national theme. The symbols are based on what the teacher picks for the class.

Scholars apply previously learned skills to create a functional computer program. They produce a digital assistant incorporating string commands and complex conditional logic.

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

Students explore the concept of A-B and A-B-B patterns, and show this by creating a pattern with concrete objects and on the Kid Pix Deluxe computer program.

Students explore gingerbread stories. In this poetry lesson, students read the folk tale "The Gingerbread Man" as well as Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett and identify rhyming words. Students also make art projects, dramatize the stories,...

Students identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical movements, and concrete objects. They brainstorm patterns found in the classroom. Students use mathematical attributes to identify patterns and predict what comes next.
