Middle schoolers explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

Students practice their patterning skills using national symbols.

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

In this patterns worksheet, students continue the letter patterns given and write what the pattern is. Students also create with their own pattern.

In this patterns activity, students complete a pattern in a row, 5 rows total and then create their own pattern. A website reference for additional resources is given.

I would consider this an outline and not a complete lesson. It would take a little work on your part because you would need to look on the internet for examples of Ojibwe art to show your pupils. They could explore the patterns that the...

Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

Students create a new design for an everyday object using color and patterns after observing objects that surround them in the classroom; focusing on five examples that are either solid colored or patterned.

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.

Here, second graders are tasked to find the patterns that have an even number of tiles. They are asked to think about why these patterns are even or odd and explain how they know.

Build a connection between algebraic sequences and spreadsheets. Learners examine a specific folding pattern and convert the pattern into a spreadsheet. The goal of the spreadsheet is to produce a sequence of a specific pattern modeled...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Fibonacci numbers are not only found in the classroom but also in nature. Explore the concept of Fibonacci numbers through a series of lessons designed to gain insight into the mathematical reasoning behind the number pattern, and spark...

This resource is a stitch. Kids learn the basics of hand and machine sewing, how to sew on buttons, how to construct and repair clothing, and how to use patterns to create decorative ornaments.

How many people can fit around a table? Depends on the size of the table, right? Explore patterns to generate an equation for the number of people that can fit around a table given its size.

The task? Determine the how effective hospitals are at reducing the rate of hospital-acquired infections. The method? Data analysis! Using an open source software program, individuals use provided data and create scatterplots to look for...

An interactive comprised of five questions challenges young scholars to complete a simple pattern. After examining a train with colored carts, learners arrange a green, blue, and yellow block into their corresponding space. Questions are...

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...

Bring the sounds of the deep South vocal blues to the classroom with a Smithsonian Folkways lesson. In preparation, scholars listen to and count the 12 bar blues patterns in several works and identify the I, II, IV, and V chords as well...

Students listen to story Dinosaurs Dancing, use dinosaur counters to identify, copy, create and extend pattern that is repeated at least three times, and complete web lesson.

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.

Middle schoolers are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to...
