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...

Students develop an awareness of environmental print, such as signs, logos, brand names, and other print and non-print items that the children see and read in their neighborhood each day. They then engage in active problem solving as...

Students inquire about visual arts by creating an artistic etching. In this symbolism lesson, students identify the work of Keith Haring by researching the web and analyzing images. Students utilize linoleum or wood to create an etching...

Explore early algebra by participating in a pattern identification activity using a random assortment of different household materials. The class creates, completes, and analyzes different patterns with the help of leggos, buttons,...

Learners 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.

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.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Here is an activity I'd like to do with my class! They researching the ins and outs of Egyptian culture, hieroglyphs, symbolism, and art, then use what they know to create realistic or stylized Mummy cases. These cases need to include...

Young scholars investigate patterns and functions. In this algebra lesson, students examine the repetition of integers and objects. They create formulas for the repetition and identify them as function using equations.

Students compute the length of time it will take to save enough money to purchase a yo-yo. In this math instructional activity, students create a design with pennies and write the associated linear equation. In this linear equations...

Second graders discuss what weather is and list words that can be used to describe weather. In this science lesson plan, 2nd graders develop symbols for each type of weather and record the weather for two weeks at the same time and the...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Do your classes truly understand the distributive property? Use a demonstrative lesson plan to represent the distributive property in various ways. Learners solidify understanding by creating a geometric pattern for distributive...

Develop an understanding of the properties of exponents through this series of activities. This third lesson plan of 15 explores the patterns associated with the power property. Scholars expand the powers before applying the property.

It's time to investigate patterns! First and second graders construct a paper weaving using a hundreds chart, then use the Ti-10 calculator to make patterns such as adding 3 each time. Learners remove multiples of three from the hundreds...

Learners investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Examine the relationship between the input and output variables in a table of values. As learners build an input-output table using online manipulatives, they begin to identify patterns. They answer questions about these patterns...

Play with the graph of a rational function to discover the asymptote patterns. Young scholars use the interactive lesson to discover the relationship between the asymptotes and the function. As they manipulate the function, the graph...

Help your pupils find a pattern of direct variation. Young scholars use input-output pairs to find a constant of variation and then write the equation. As they build their equations, the interactive lesson provides feedback.

Apply geometry to find the distance as the crow flies. An engaging lesson compares the distance a car must drive to the straight line distance between two locations. Scholars must manipulate a simulation, note the change in distances,...

Students examine the art of Pysanky. Using the Internet, they identify the cultural similarities and differences between the United States and the Ukraine. Using Pysanky's art, they discover the symbolism he used in his artwork and...

Students explore printmaking which began with the ancient Chinese who carved seals from stone, inked them and used the seals as identification symbols. They produce a print in this lesson.

Learners identify connections between various cultures and the symbolism used in them. Individually, they reflect on their own culture, beliefs and values and identify the symbolisms they use to show them. They discuss how their clothes...

Seventh graders relate patterns with higher math. In this 7th grade math instructional activity, 7th graders analyze different methods of portraying data. They relate the data to real life scenarios.
