Not only is pattern recognition an essential skill for young children to develop, it's also a lot of fun to teach! Over the course of this lesson, class members participate in shared readings, perform small group...

Seventh grade math is so much fun! They solve 10 different problems that include using patterns to complete a table, describe the pattern, and identify the specific term in the pattern for each. Then they give a description of the...

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

Students study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

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 identify, extend and create patterns using various types of manipulatives and then work a pattern game in the computer lab to reinforce what was learned.

Pupils discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns and...

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

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Students 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 write the algebraic equation to determine the number of weeks money must be saved to purchase a yo-yo. For this algebra lesson, students create a pattern of one penny surrounded by six pennies. They continue the pattern and...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Pupils solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

This fabulous resource is a must-have for any algebra teacher's arsenal of lessons. Developing the idea of equations and use of variables from basic physical scenarios, learners gain valuable intuition in the structure and meaning of...

Wow! Put on that thinking cap and solve multi-step equations. To solve equations, learners review the use of the distributive property and combining like terms. This three-day lesson comes with about 20 pages of worksheets, warm-ups,...

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged to...

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

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Students use the DrScheme program to create graphics for clip art. Using graphics, they plan their designs using basic shapes, plotting its positions, and studying the relationships between points. By plotting the necessary data on...

Sixth graders practice solving math problems by utilizing a data table. In this number sense lesson, 6th graders create a table using the numerical information about a fictitious farm's inventory. Students complete the empty segments by...

Fourth graders explore patterns by participating in a class math activity. In this early algebra lesson, 4th graders utilize a die and chart to keep record of a snake game in which students must utilize a math function to solve a problem...

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...
