Students apply higher level thinking skills to determine rules for sorting and classification. In this pre-algebra activity, students nominate classmates who they think satisfy the unspoken "rule" established by the leader. As students...

Did you know you can send a message using only zeroes and ones? This interactive resource presents an introduction to binary numbers. Through code cards, pupils learn to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers.

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...

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 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.

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

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.

Don't just use a fraction of this resource ... use it all. Learners first investigate patterns to determine how to deal with fractional exponents. Individuals then evaluate expressions involving fractional exponents.

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....

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.

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

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. 

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Provide Algebra I learners with a logical approach to making connections between the types of sequences and formulas with a instructional activity that uses what class members know about explicit formulas to develop an...

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Eighth graders play a game to solve problems. In this exponents and scientific notations lesson, 8th graders play a game in small groups to move colored disks from location A to location C. Students identify recursive patterns to solve...

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

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, learners determine the equation that correctly represents the relationship between the x and y values provided.  The one page worksheet contains four multiple choice problems.  Answers...

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

It's time for scholars to show what they know about coordinate planes with a collection of three assessments. The exams' objectives include plotting points on a single grid, measuring using the distance formula, and identifying...

Build a patio from toothpicks and marshmallows to analyze functions! Learners look for patterns in the data as they create different size patios. As they discover patterns, they make connections between the different representations of...

In this problem solving patterns worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 2 various types of problems. First, they identify what the 4n represents in each block pattern illustrated. Then, students determine the number of arrows added to...
