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 instructional activity, class members participate in shared readings, perform small...

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

Students 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...

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.

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

Sew up learning on writing rules for patterns with an assessment task that has pupils investigate the number of triangles needed for cushions of different sizes. They then use the data to generate a rule for a cushion of any size.

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...

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.

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

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x...

It's never too early to begin a child's math education. This collection of fun hands-on activities engage youngsters in building their number sense as they learn how to count objects, identify numerals, compare amounts, and much more.

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...

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students factor trinomials and quadratics. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratics when the leading coefficient is one. They use a special factoring pattern to solve the trinomial.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Students identify numbers in nature. In this algebra activity, students solve problems using Fibonacci sequence as it is expressed in nature. They research the Fibonacci's pattern as it relates to numbers.

Ninth graders discuss the different forms of equations. In this algebra lesson plan, 9th graders talk about the pros and cons of algebraic equations. They discuss reflection across the x and y axis and write out the equation of the given...

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

Students graph polynomials functions and analyze the end behavior. In this algebra lesson, student differentiate between the different polynomials based on the exponents. They use a TI to help with the graphing.

Young scholars define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

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.

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of the...

Students solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...
