High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The lesson culminates with students creating their own patterns to use in...

In this logarithmic worksheet, learners make conjectures regarding the rules for condensing and expanding logarithms by investigating patterns.  This is designed to be done as a group activity. 

In this introduction to algebraic thinking, students perform given calculations. They draw a sequence of pictures to explain the equation. This five page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Don't give your classes the third degree when working with polynomials! Teach them to recognize the successive differences and identify the degree of the polynomial. The lesson leads learners through a process to develop an understanding...

Math is all about finding solutions and connections you didn't expect! Young mathematicians often first discover nonlinear patterns when graphing quadratic functions. The lesson begins with the vocabulary of a quadratic graph and uses...

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

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...

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Factoring doesn't have to be intimidating. Build on prior knowledge of multiplying binomials and factoring simple trinomials to teach advanced factoring of quadratic expressions with a lesson that uses various methods of exploring the...

Don't allow those polynomial functions to misbehave! Understand the end behavior of a polynomial function based on the degree and leading coefficient. Learners examine the patterns of even and odd degree polynomials and apply them to...

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Your Algebra learners will appreciate this fabulous, two-page printable. The first page has a list of numbers that lead to the learners writing an equation in a cloud that represents these numbers, and then filling in a table, and...

Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

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...

Students sort objects and create patterns. For this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

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 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.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve a puzzle starting with two single digit numbers and eventually conclude that the answer can be used with Fibonacci's pattern. There are 11 steps to the puzzle with a provided answer.

In this grade 3 patterns worksheet, 3rd graders answer a set of 13 multiple choice questions, finding missing numbers in and completing patterns. Answers may be submitted and checked on-line.

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math activity, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

In this spelling worksheet, students practice their spelling words that include sight words, ure pattern, and vocabulary. Students practice spelling 21 words.

Students explore patterns. They observe a video, "Math Monsters." Students determine the next item in a sequence. Students read books about patterns. They discuss patterns in quilts. Students visit a specified web site and design...
