Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Explore patterns in the multiplication table in order to deepen your third graders' understanding of this essential skill. Implement this activity as a whole-class lesson, allowing students to work in pairs or small groups to support...

Have young mathematicians create new identities! They explore the even/odd, cofunction, and periodicity identities through an analysis of tables and graph. Next, learners discover the relationships while strengthening their...

First graders recognize characteristics of odd and even numbers. They listen to the story "Bears Odd, Bears Even" and create a pictures showing comprehension of odd and even numbers.

Your learners will enjoy this one-page, color-coded poster containing Pascal's triangle and its connection to Sierpinski's triangle. By coloring odd numbers orange and even numbers green on Pascal's triangle a pattern evolves,...

Students solve problems with consecutive integers. In this counting lesson, students create formulas for odd and even consecutive integers. They complete a worksheet, homework and work problems on the board.

An easy way to introduce numerical patterns, these activities can be made simpler by using addition, or more difficult with division, fractions, and percentages. Children examine patterns and determine the missing number in the sequence....

Don't let the resource hide from you. In the assessment task, young mathematicians solve problems involving chameleons that change color. Three different problems require individuals to apply parity in various situations.

Students design their own spinner that meets the given criteria. In this math lesson, students discuss biased versus unbiased events or outcomes when dealing with probability. Students are given 5 criteria that must be incorporated into...

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...

Learning about factors and multiples is all fun and games with this simple math activity. The lesson begins with the teacher and class playing the Factor Game together as students figure out the rules and uncover key...

Students identify how to classify living things. They classify various concepts including family members, kinds of clothing, numbers, shapes, and vocabulary words. They discuss how to classify various concepts and classify pictures of...

Don't rush into algebra, let learners visualize, guess, and predict their way to a successful math career. The introductory unit incorporates beginner algebraic concepts with shapes instead of variables. Young mathematicians use a...

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

Investigate how public key cryptography works. Scholars continue their study of one-way functions and asymmetric keys and apply this information to public key cryptography. They use an app to explore public key cryptography and its...

Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean, median...

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....

Students differentiate between perfect roots and rational roots. In this algebra lesson, students perform operation using roots. They add, subtract, multiply and divide rational expressions.

Students identify the nth term in a sequence. In this algebra lesson, students generate sequences given the formula for each sequence. They find the formula given the sequence.

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.
