Satellite photographs prove the dramatic changes to the environment over long periods of time. Young scientists observe photographs and make hypotheses. They then check real data on weather and climate patterns to better understand the...

Students extend patterns that are created by their teacher by using jellybeans. In this patterns lesson plan, students use 3 different colored jellybeans.

Seventh graders recognize number patterns. As a class, 7th graders discuss strategies for solving number patterns. Given a pattern, they determine the missing terms. They complete a pattern worksheet.

Students make patterns. In this early sequencing lesson, students observe and state a pattern when they see one. The teacher begins be using students to demonstrate a pattern with half of the children standing and every other child sitting.

In this pattern worksheet, students use pattern blocks to build given patterns, then continue the pattern. Students then draw and color the blocks they used. Reference to Houghton Mifflin text is given.

In this mathematics worksheet, students cut out the four pictures at the bottom of the sheet. Then they continue each pattern with one of the pictures cut out.

Fourth graders observe patterns and determine a mathematical function that creates the pattern. Through a demonstration by the teacher, they observe strategies such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction to use when...

Ninth graders discover what it means to "brainstorm." They explore a given simple number pattern and then, working in groups, brainstorm more complicated number patterns. They display them around the room and then solve the number...

In this geometric patterns worksheet, students learn to solve problems that use geometric patterns and solid figures. Students solve six word problems.

Fourth graders play the game, How Does My Pattern Grow, they use shapes to extend patterns of growing flowers. They read the instructions and extending nine patterns. Students are given a paper copy of the follow-up exercises once the...

Students create a pattern using the stamp tool on the Kid Pix program. They trade computers with a partner, and complete the pattern on their computer.

In this ESL present continuous verb tense worksheet, learners first analyze the 7 pictures that depict people doing things. Students use the 3 provided words and write a sentence about what each person is doing in the picture.

Investigate polynomial factoring patterns by finding a connection to volume. As learners build a three-dimensional solid from smaller solids, they convert the visual model to a mathematical expression. Their models represent the sum of...

Help your class find patterns in polynomial multiplication. Pupils multiply a trinomial by a binomial using a graphic organizer. They respond to questions about patterns observed in polynomial multiplication before a discussion question...

Explore the building blocks of the Fibonacci Sequence. Given the lengths of sides of squares, pupils deduce the pattern to determine the lengths of two more squares. Learners continue to work with recursive formulas to generate numerical...

Fibonacci is an interesting sequence that forms some unique patterns. Learners explore sequences that do not have the typical arithmetic and geometric patterns. They identify the pattern and find the next consecutive terms....

Fireflies are more than just mobile twinkle lights. An online interactive lesson teaches individuals about the light patterns fireflies use to communicate with each other. After they practice the patterns themselves, they could be...

Hang out at the beach and listen to some relaxing tunes, all while developing basic math skills. An endless source of fun and learning for young children!

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

In this writing equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 20 different problems that include writing an equation and finding a solution for each problem. First, they read the problem through and write an equation that best...

Students sort teddy bears according to types and then graph the results. They each bring a bear to class and then discuss their similarities and differences. Once the bears have been sorted into groups according to size and color,...
