Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Learners first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the lesson. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in cooperative groups...

Help your kids develop strategies for counting. In this base-ten lesson, learners use matching cards, base 10 blocks, and dry erase markers and boards to examine the base 10 counting system.

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Fifth graders recognize shape and number patterns. In groups, 5th graders use strategies to find patterns. They extend the patterns and give explanations as to how they found the pattern. Students use the computer and the hundreds...

Young readers demonstrate phonemic awareness in words and blends, and recognize 100 high-frequency words. Use a nursery rhyme to point out rhyming words, and change the words by putting a new letter at the beginning. Each learner will...

Gain a deeper understanding of the base 10 system through practicing conversion to Roman numerals through one million. The class is taught how to read the numerals through modeling and guided practice. This lesson includes a homework...

Solve equations by completing the square. The pupils factor quadratic equations and graph the parabola. They also identify the different terms in the equation and look for patterns.

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Linear, quadratic, and exponential functions are represented only by their table of values in this simple, well-written learning exercise. Learners decide the type of graph represented based on the differences in the function...

Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Sometimes what seems like the easiest problem is really the most difficult. Your class is first going to reach for their calculators, but will realize the number is too large to evaluate. Now what? This is where the fun and the...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences instructional activity, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds...

Learners count the number of varves (annual layers of sediment) in shale billets, taken from the Green River Formation in Wyoming. The count is then extended to reflect the entire 260 meters of sediments where the billets originated.

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

The task? Determine the how effective hospitals are at reducing the rate of hospital-acquired infections. The method? Data analysis! Using an open source software program, individuals use provided data and create scatterplots to look for...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson in a series of 15. The examples include...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns activity, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Students use their senses to identify a variety of items in mystery boxes after listening to a read aloud of Aliki's, "My Five Senses." They taste and smell items to identify them before completing a Senses Literature Log. They label the...

Students comprehend the meaning of "pixel." They recognize patterns using pixels. Students observe how land use can be determined from a pixel. They measure off a 30 x 30-meter area to show the size of the surface area of one pixel....

How does a bank make money? That is the question at the based of a lesson that explores the methods banks use to calculate interest. Groups compare the linear simple interest pattern with the exponential compound interest pattern. 

Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. In this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.
