Young elementary students will discover there are patterns all around them in their daily lives. In groups, they sort pattern blocks by size and color. Using the internet, they create their own type of patterns and share them with the...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this instructional activity is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been...

Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Learners 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 use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.

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 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...

In this high school worksheet, young scholars solve problems involving angles, functions, square roots, and sequences. They read word problems, write equations, and then solve them. This 28-page worksheet contains 39 problems.

Students identify the formula to find the nth term. In this algebra lesson, students finish a pattern and identify missing parts in a sequence. They write an equation given a partial sequence.

Students identify the nth rule for each sequence. In this algebra lesson, students finish the pattern or sequence and find the missing term. They relate patterns and sequences to the real world.

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

Seventh graders identify and find missing patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, 7th graders investigate numbers and sequences and complete the pattern. They make a chart and discuss similarities and differences.

Students identify different patterns and sequence in a deck of cards. In this algebra lesson, students use reasoning and proof to solve problems. They create different steps to identify and solve their problems.

Fifth graders practice recognizing patters and determining what comes next in a sequence. Using a given website, 5th graders play "The Crazy Pattern Machine," where they recognize and complete given patterns. After completing the most...

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

Students explore the pattern created by a sequence or series. In this geometry lesson, students relate the spread of a virus to the growth of exponential functions. They collect data as they analyze the sequence created by the growth.

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 analyze patterns and try to figure out the next term in the sequence. In this algebra instructional activity, students discuss the functions rule and how it works to solve sequences. They practice solving problems and find the...

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

Students apply fractions to counting rhythm in music. In this algebra lesson, students interrelate the concept of math into music as they fill out a chart identifying the names and symbols of music notes and their equivalent values in...
